Seems Reno sort of muscled some folks into buying the Old Reno Casino for $690,000. Reno paid $1 for it. Shoot, I bet we could get purt'near everyone in the club on a license and get us one of these casino things someday! We'll just figure out that non-profit hangup later. Lots of properties in northern NV. too, remember, our Building Fund $ will go farther in Wells!

The last line from this quaint newspaper is a real howler for someone living in Marxist Utopia here in Oregon:

Because the city paid on $1 for the building, the sale will be nearly all profit for Reno. The council will have to decide what to do with the money.

Don't these council people have friends, benefactors, or blackmailers? Don't they know how to use bagmen? Sheesh, Biggest LITTLE City indeed!
