Laughlin says a rise in visitors to the Lake Tahoe Basin this summer, coupled with the growing popularity of paddleboarding, has Sand Harbor Rentals eyeing a record summer.

Those four were Karl Horeis, Jeremy Evans, Rick Gunn and K. M. Cannon.

If the TTD took the $70 Million that they say it will cost to build the loop road and fix up the area they would still have enough over to give us a free bus system like most of the other resort towns. They are not alleviating any traffic flows or amount of cars only diverting them faster to Nevada. How is diverting the traffic helping the traffic situation, we will still have the same amount of cars on the road. I have said this before about other things done to us by our Government agency’s doing what’s best for them and us(mostly them).
