(Optic Warning – Avert Your Eyes a Bit) Berkley sides with enviro-nazis instead of NV jobs
Last month, Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) voted against H.R. 2578, the Conservation and Economic Growth Act, which includes provisions that would allow the City of Yerington, Nevada, to purchase 11,500 acres of federal land at fair market value. The land would be used in the Nevada Copper Pumpkin Hollow project, which is estimated to add 800 jobs to the area. Yerington is located in Lyon County, where the unemployment rate is 16%, the highest in the state of Nevada, and almost double the national average.
On June 14, the Congressional Budget Office issued a favorable report on the predecessor bill, H.R. 4039, the Yerington Land Conveyance and Sustainable Development Act.
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on June 7, 2012
H.R. 4039 would require the Secretary of the Interior to sell about 11,500 acres of federal land at fair market value to the city of Yerington, Nevada. Based on information about the value of similar lands in western Nevada, CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would increase offsetting receipts (a credit against direct spending) by $2 million in 2013; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Because the bill would require the city to cover any administrative costs associated with the conveyance, CBO estimates that the bill would not affect discretionary spending. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.

Hey, it’s a good news story. This idiot voted against a bill for real jobs in her constituency, a bill that was going to pass regardless of what she did and she did it in the year she’s up for re-election (Nov) and her Republican opponent took this gaffe and is running with it and hammering her. What’s not to like?

Damn, those things must be tough to kill. I thought for sure she’d been crushed to death back in 1939 when Dorothy’s house fell on her.

Why should she care? She’ll never do without money.
For her is’s a twofer. She gets to kiss Gaia’s ass, and keep people dependent on Government.

When Barbara Boxer was a Marin County supervisor (in the mid 70s), the county had a chance to buy Hamilton AFB from the gov’t for $1 — as long as they used it for an airfield. Which would have provided lots of jobs. They could have built hotels and even a convention center on the site. The Coast Guard could have stayed as well. It is certainly big enough.
But not Ma’am Boxer. She would lie about jets like the 737 landing on the 5,000 foot runway. She pointed to a county airport in some other state that had a 5,000 foot runway and allowed 737s. The libtards in Moron County were frothing at the mouth that a 737 could land in their county! What Ma’am forgot to tell everyone was that the other airport had a 10,000 foot runway the 737s used. No matter — she had said it and the liberal zealots repeated the lie to make sure it became the truth. She voted with the enviro-nazis because they wanted to build a “solar community” at Hamilton.
Now Ma’am Boxer lives in LA. She moved after doing her damage to Marin.

@Stranded–
Interesting! I didn’t live in Marin when she was one of the MC Stupidvisors, but this sure rings true. What a legacy. And she carried that destructive ability forward with her when she rose to the Senate.
IS Hamilton a “solar community” now? I have never heard such a claim as long as I’ve lived here. I highly doubt it.
What a loss for Marin. Losing a potential airport, I mean. The collective Stupidvisors have a lot to answer for, over all these years.

According to the Breitbart article, she was for it before she was against it. This is a perfect example of why she will never win here in the Nevada rurals.

@Corona: You said it. I moved here and got perhaps the only job Nevada had left to offer. Smelley Berkuntley is Harry Reidtard’s up-the-butt-girl. If you want to know what Harry’s balls look like you can take the impression of them off Smelley’s chin…..
