With little discussion, the Fernley City Council voted 4-0-1 to adopt a resolution concerning arguments and rebuttals for and against a ballot question concerning the city’s mandatory trash collection service.

Las Vegas conservative activist and 2004 Republican U.S. Senate candidate Richard Ziser filed an initiative petition Wednesday that seeks to outlaw abortion in Nevada. Ziser organized a committee called Personhood Nevada to campaign for the petition, which would amend the Nevada Constitution to read “the term person applies to every human being.” The petition says human being would be defined as anybody “possessing a human genome.”
