Even though the Pony Express was in operation for only 18 months between April 1860 and October 1861, it is synonymous with the Old West. In the era before easy mass communication, the Pony Express was the thread that tied East to West.
That bit of history is still reenacted each year during the Pony Express ReRide which takes riders and their horses almost 2,000 miles between St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento, Calif.

After attending the city council meeting on June 18 at which the Vacancy Tax Report was presented, I felt it was important to make a few observations. The report was presented from the very start with apologies for the many “assumptions” contained within. Assumptions regarding every aspect of the information presented. The proposed taxes generated, the number of new residents, the number of homes in the city, the new retail sales, the revenue generated to the city, the percentage of compliance, the costs of administration, etc.

Summer is a magnificent time of year in Tahoe. Longer days, near-perfect temperatures, and Tahoe’s lush environment have brought about a summer migration for millennia. As the snow melted every year, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, Lake Tahoe’s original and current stewards, would return to the center of their homelands, as much for spiritual fulfillment as sustenance. In fact, travel is intrinsic to human nature. From nomadic hunter-gatherers to people in search of knowledge, new relationships, and escape, getting away is something we have always done.

Dear Editor: Let's keep the main thing the main thing. Those pushing for the Vacancy Tax are doing a political sleight of hand. Our rogue council member, politician, Scott Robbins, and his minions, Nick Speal and Amelia Richmond, have cherry-picked parts of a hastily prepared report and are trying to drag us into the weeds by confusing the issue. They are crowing about self-manufactured statistics using bad math to make their points. It’s a very cagey tactic these city council wannabes are using to suck us into arguing statistics, math, and outcomes.
