I dunno what happened here, but Marc Boldt actually took a Republican vote today.
Must be getting close to an election. Still, a good vote is a good vote.
Just a reminder to Marc: See? You CAN get something done without "compromising" with Stuart.
Negotiations with IT Guild at impasse after 15 months

In a rare move, the Board of Clark County Commissioners voted 2-1 Tuesday to enforce a bargaining agreement that had been overwhelmingly rejected by guild members.
Francine Reis, Clark County's director of human resources, asked commissioners to approve the agreement following 15 months of negotiations with the Information Technology Guild, which has approximately 40 members.
Reis said Tuesday the county and the guild, after six meetings with a state mediator, were at an impasse.
The sticking point, said guild president Marian Croteau, who read a prepared statement to commissioners, was a "significant expansion" of managers' rights, particularly when it comes to hiring temporary and project employees.
