Gov. Joe Lombardo’s Chief of Staff Ben Kieckhefer was the speaker at the joint Chamber of Commerce, Business Council of Douglas County membership meeting today. You have to be a member of one of the organizations to attend.
The Nevada Highway Patrol is reporting a noninjury collision on Highway 395 right around 6 a.m. today south of Pine Valley Road. It will likely clear soon but watch for emergency vehicles.
As I peek around the corner at the forecast, it seems fairly safe to report this morning. Expect sunny skies with the wind out of the west at 5-10 mph, shifting north later this morning. Looking out this morning, that seems fairly likely.
