	NPRI Op Ed: Memo to Kenny: Cut Taxes
		Guinn is probably looking for an issue which will demonstrate he’s no empty suit.
		Guinn would be smart to push an across-the-board agenda of cuts in the sales, gas, property and motor vehicle taxes.
		Those who doubt Guinn’s commitment to free-market principles would be proven wrong, and the left would be left with the Catch-22 of supporting the governor or lobbying to keep the onerous tax burden of working families right where it is.

	Nevada Journal: Schooling Kenny Guinn
		Voters bought Guinn’s line that his experience as an educator and administrator made him uniquely qualified to improve our public schools.
		The fact is, Guinn’s campaign was painfully short on specifics, and sounded suspiciously like his predecessor’s.
		In this situation, Gov. Guinn can do what knee-jerk Republicans have traditionally done: Get out the veto pen and just say no. Or he could cannibalize other state programs to placate the NSEA juggernaut—a tempting option for a former school superintendent.

	Nevada Journal: State of the Nostrum
		Guinn, it appeared, recognized that Nevada's always-growing tax burden is not only a direct expression of runaway government growth, but hampers the state's economic development and diversification.
		It is Kenny Guinn's silence on the real sources of budget pressures, like his own eagerness to take taxpayers' money for feel-good politics, that convinces many Nevadans that his election-year posture as a champion of minimal government was just a cynical ploy to attain power.
		Given the yeoman service that Kenny Guinn performed for the resort industry a decade ago when it wanted a tax hike on general business, it's natural to wonder what kind of assurances he was giving industry donors during the 1998 election.

		Robison wondered how an official of less resolve than Guinn would have handled the recession and Nevada's looming budgetary red ink, praising the governor for his promise not to balance the state's books on the backs of small business.
		American small business employs six of every 10 workers, yet it has distinct difficulties from big companies in remaining solvent, the most prominent of which is its having to pay twice as much as larger firms in complying with state and federal regulations.
		Robison said Guinn has a fundamental appreciation of this important fact and it is a constant consideration in the Governor's work to balance the state budget.

		Guinn is no dunce and had turned out to be a good politician within the corporate environment also.
		Guinn and the new board majority presented Laub with a choice: If he chose to fight, it would be very bloody and costly and the board majority would attack all the equity Laub had built up in the company.
		Instead, we’ll just say that Ernaut and Guinn’s stone-cold attack on democracy at that convention was not only a betrayal of American values, but it also strongly suggests the possibility of a real intent to destroy the GOP in Nevada -- a willingness to betray all the party faithful.

		We have watched with great interest and growing respect as he has moved from one challenge to another in the public sector, then to the private sector and back to the public arena.
		However, considering that the proliferation of gaming outside Nevada and the worldwide economic crisis might harm our tourist-based economy, Guinn's more experienced and steady hand is the one the state should have at the helm for the next four years.
		Guinn has proved his mettle under fire in public service and we're confident he has the grit to get the state through any tough economic times.
