OPEN
LETTER #19 TO THE COMMUNITY FROM A TOWN BOARD MEMBER
As a
DISCLAIMER, please understand that I speak ONLY for myself as a Town Board
member and will provide accurate information as I see it through my
research. All information is reviewed by
several entities to ensure there are no NRS violations.
Ignorance, or Stupidity !!!!!! -
I continually read or hear comments made by Dan Schinhofen that beg for a response. I chose to wait until after the Nevada Supreme Court Decision on the fate of the “elected” Town Board to allow it to sink in for the electorate of Pahrump. He continually stated that we (the Town Board) wanted to overturn the vote of the people. It is clear to anyone who can read that the court case was because the Town believed the commissioners did not follow Nevada Law. The Nevada Supreme Court has resolved that matter. Although I like Dan as a person, I truly believe he has exhausted his limits and capability as a Nye County Commissioner. When he makes false, misleading, or idiotic statements, he reminds me of people who state, “Don’t confuse me with the facts because my mind is already made up.”

It is possible that he
is merely confused but, when he continues to spout misinformation in his column
or in front of an audience, it transcends “confused” into the real level of
stupidity or the “Ramblings of a Madman.”
I am pleased that he now says he supports the veterans and plans to use
the dollars allocated for veterans to support county veteran programs. Unfortunately, this idea had to be pushed
upon him by veterans and another commissioner.
As an example, Dan
Schinhofen continues to talk about “My Opponent” as if he doesn’t realize that
he has several opponents who wish to unseat him for District 5. I understand that he considers Bill Dolan his
only “real” opponent as he continues to insist that Bill is in favor of
Incorporation of the Town of Pahrump when Bill has stated repeatedly that he is
neither “for” or “against” Incorporation.
Dan also allows others to say (and Dan supports) that Bill Dolan went
with Bill Kohbarger and Vicky Parker to see former State Senator McGinnis. The FACT remains that Bill Dolan was on the
East Coast on vacation when the trip occurred.
There were only two people from Pahrump on the trip. Another person from Reno joined them
there. However, Dan (or his supporters) does
not need facts, truth, or reality in order to make a statement.
He also states that the
“Town raised taxes three times while the County did not.” First, it was TWO times that the “Tax Rate”
for Pahrump was raised and, according to Nevada Tax Laws, the tax rate and the
tax increases were separated many years ago.
The state of Nevada has several formulas to compute taxes. For a commissioner not to know that fact in
Nevada History also means he does not know Nevada Law or the Nevada tax
codes. And, the Town of Pahrump is not
at the “maximum cap” for the tax rate while Nye County reached the maximum cap
a long time ago. The county couldn’t
raise the tax rate again even if they wanted to because it would violate Nevada
Law. Listen to the auditor who proclaims
year after year that the County of Nye has serious fiscal problems. Also, the fact that he has listed on his
Nevada Financial Disclosure Statement for 2014 that he owes $5,000 or more to
the IRS and to the State of Nevada Tax, why would we want Dan Schinhofen to
continue to mis-manage the funds of Nye County?
His ramblings do not end
there if you read his last column in the May 15th Mirror. So, read his comments and then ask yourself
the question, “Is it ignorance, stupidity, or merely the Ramblings of a
Madman??
Questions?? Feel free to contact me if you have questions
