"I think it’s unfortunate that a lot of the expenditure side and tax side discussions are driven by politics, not policy, and with an election coming up that is very important both on the national level and for the caucuses that are coming up. It’s who can make comments that can get them press. I’m sorry, it’s sounds very cynical but that’s exactly the way I see it. "

- Carole Vilardo, Nevada Taxpayers Association, on negative comments directed toward Governor Gibbons for his handling of the current, potential, budget crisis.
