Finally, today the Review-Journal gets around to the angle the Sun and RGJ had March 1.

And, the lede isn't even factually accurate. "They'll be back, Nevada's lawmakers. And next time, taxes will be on the table."

We already know about one third of them won't be back, and who knows what the election year will do to the rest.

Laura Myers' report isn't just a bore to read, it's old, re-hashed and late. Perhaps the "paper of record" mentality still trickles down to scribes, but all the rest of the world sees is a paper that's routinely beaten, regularly late and inaccurate and quickly becoming must-not read material.

Consider today's two corrections from special session reporting.

"A story in Monday's Review-Journal on the special session of the Nevada Legislature misstated the size of the state's budget shortfall, which is $887 million."

If you actually try to find Monday's RJ online, you can't. It's completely interspersed with Tuesday's. (Maybe the RJ thinks the size of the story list is impressive that way).

At any rate, chalk the error up to the troubled triumvirate that covered the session so badly. By name: Ed Vogel, Laura Myers and Benjamin Spillman.

"The deadline for candidates to file for election to Clark County offices was incorrect in the Political Eye column in Monday's Review-Journal. It is March 12."

We don't know who gets the blame here, either. http://www.lvrj.com/news/gibbons--yucca-proponent-rub-elbows-85800282.html

The byline on the column is Adrienne Packer's. Yet the contact info at the bottom is county reporter Scott Wyland's. The same column includes both the wrong date (March 15) and the correct one.

And the RJ has apparently ceased correcting itself for archival purposes. Neither of the offending stories have been updated online as of 10:20 a.m. Tuesday.

I guess if they can't get basic stuff correct, it's hard to imagine them actually being able to produce a political report that looks ahead and doesn't just chase the Reno Gazette Journal or Sun.

Today the Sun has moved on, having already written the tax piece Monday. The Sun today looks at the impact to Clark County government and schools.
