Ronald Reagan once said, "No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"
There's a lot of truth in that statement, which is why it's so encouraging to see the legislative sunset commission actually talking about eliminating up to 35 state boards and commissions.
Let's hope that in 2013, lawmakers continue eliminating inefficient areas of government.

During the first meeting of Legislature's Sunset Subcommittee, members identified the boards and commissions they want to call in and ask to provide justification for their continued existence.Sen. Kieckhefer should be applauded for his work on this issue.
Some such as the Commission on Sports have not met in decades and clearly will be abolished. ...
The Sunset Subcommittee was created through a bill sponsored by Sen. Ben Kieckhefer, R-Reno. Approved unanimously and signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval, the law allows the subcommittee to determine whether boards or commissions "should be terminated, modified, consolidated with another agency or continued." ...
The subcommittee's recommendations are due June 30 and on the same day every other year.
Any recommendations made next year must be approved by the Legislature in 2013 before a board can be eliminated.
Let's hope that in 2013, lawmakers continue eliminating inefficient areas of government.

Well, I will definately support eliminating the Nevada Commission on Ethics. The commission is really a protector of unethical and corrupt politicians. I have had my dealings with Caren Jenkins and Mike Varva.
I will be writing my letters in support of eliminating the millions they spend in a year.
I hope they don't forget PILB....A useless board IF there ever was one.
Its time to clean up goverment. This move is way over due.
A good place to start would be that medieval guild system known as the Contractors License Board.
