Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones, the Nevada Democrat who Federal court filings show is alleged to have bribed Nevada's Governor Steve Sisolak with a quid pro quo, and destroying his electronic files which are evidence, is now accused of passing an ordinance to harm one of his midterm rivals.
Jones and the other Democrat commissioners passed a new ordinance to fire Republican Jenna Waltho, the only woman running against Jones.
Many legal experts feel Clark County is on the brink of losing the litigation, and therefore being responsible to pay the Plaintiff Gypsum Resources, LLC over a billion dollars in damages due to Jones' led commission and his reckless behavior.
During his campaign in 2018 for a County Commission seat Jones was also representing an environmental group named "Save Red Rock" which involved a 2016 lawsuit with Clark County and famed Las Vegas real estate developer Jim Rhodes' entity Gypsum Resources, LLC. Clark County had taken the bizarre step of initiating a lawsuit against both Gypsum Resources and Save Red Rock to have a judge settle a dispute between Gypsum Resources, who sought for many years to begin development of 15,000 homes atop 2,500 acres of mountain overlooking Las Vegas and Save Red Rock who sought to halt or hinder the progress of the development.
Jones offered to have his clients drop their lawsuit against Clark County if Sisolak agreed to delay a vote critical to the process of the development until after Jones would be sworn in.
As outlined in a court filing, Jones blatantly and shamelessly represented to the Ethics Commission "He had no prior involvement in opposing Gypsum's applications so that he was not conflicted and should be allowed to vote upon them." Why else would Clark County have spent millions of dollars to hide information which would have made them appear so pathetically hypocritical?
One has to wonder what else Clark County Commissioner Jones believes the public does not need to know? It would seem all but inevitable that Waltho would file a lawsuit against Jones and Clark County for the obviously underhanded process which has occurred to her in her pursuit to seek higher office.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
