As our confidential source predicted the only news coming out of the forensic audit of the Ely RR is simply no news.
Yes there is room for improvement in the rail roads bookkeeping but for a mostly volunteer group functioning from hand to mouth and grant to grant they are doing pretty good.
We know the Ely City Council got their panties in a bunch but now it seems everyone is ready to make nice once again.
And it is good that they do.
The historic rail road is too great an asset to eastern Nevada to be destroyed by jealousy, greed and incompetence.
One thing is the Ely City Election will be very interesting to watch. The voters of Ely will decide if this two year war against the railroad was in the end worth it to raise or justified to continue.
We hate to admit this but we interviewed Edward Bennett back in the days when he was a heart throb to all the death penalty groupies out there.
Yes there are such things as death penalty groupies. It seems that a man sentenced to die has a certain je ne sais quoi about him that makes some women go giggly.
Edward Bennett had such fans.
He got older and they began to leave but still a loyal core remained and then.
And then he won his appeal and then he won his hearing.
But then he wasn’t special anymore.
No longer stoically facing an execution Bennett became your average lifer. They are a dime a dozen in ESP.
And now he is dead.
