My colleague, Dan Schinhofen, a columnist in the Pahrump Mirror has announced he is a candidate for election to the Nye County Board of Commissioners. [Pahrump Mirror, July 23, 2009, page 1]
Dan is a Republican and resident of Pahrump. He plans to run to be the County Commissioner for district 5. The seat is currently occupied by Fely Quitevis, another Republican, who was appointed by Republican Governor Jim Gibbons to complete the term of former Republican Commissioner Peter Liakopoulos, who is awaiting sentencing following his conviction in which “The jury found Liakopoulos guilty of felony bribery and misdemeanor counts of offering a reward for an appointment and graft by a public officer.”
Dan is a former Nye County Regional Planning Commissioner. The Mirror reported Schinhofen says “He won’t be running on a particular political platform, instead he believes he will bring a sense of fairness and honesty to the role of commissioner….”
“I didn’t move from Vegas to make Pahrump like Vegas. I moved here for what it is, not to try to change it. I like where I moved to.”
Dan writes a weekly column in the Pahrump Mirror called Ramblings of a Madman. He has written two books “The Moses Stern Chronicles Vol I” and “The Ramblings of a Madman Anthology,” published by Robert’s Inadvertent Publishing.
