So, a few news events happened on Tuesday. Chancellor Jim Rogers explained his decision to not quit after all. Clark County Commissioner Yvonne Atkinson Gates announced she was stepping down from the commission. UMC got raided by Metro, while CEO Lacy Thomas got sacked by the commission for covering up a huge debt at the hospital. (He’s also apparently the target of the Metro investigation.)
So were were we? Jury duty.
That’s right, on the biggest news day in recent memory, we were sequestered at the Regional Justice Center, waiting to find out whether we’d be picked for a jury. And while we made it to the jury box for voir dire, we were dismissed by the prosecutor.
Of course, we wanted to hug the guy for turning us free to start covering some of these unbelievable news stories. So, thanks Mr. Prosecutor. Good luck with the case.
Alas, we’re still catching up, seeing as we had to put out a little paper called CityLife that you may have heard about. So we’ll make with the blogging a little later today.
