| Description | Carson City — Gov. Jim Gibbons has become a fleeting presence in Carson City, rarely showing up at his Capitol office and making few public appearances.
His absence has led officials, including current and former supporters, to wonder how the governor is spending his time as the state faces a worsening economic slowdown and the steepest budget cuts since the Great Depression.
A review of Gibbons’ attendance in the past nine weeks found that in August he was in his Capitol office five days, and never for a full eight hours on any of those days. In September, he showed up seven days. By comparison, his predecessor, Gov. Kenny Guinn, estimates he spent four of every five days in the office.
On some days when Gibbons did show up, he attended a meeting or two before leaving for the day.
On many days when the governor did not go to his office, he had one or two public events, such as a business opening, a speech to a Rotary Club or an evening dinner. The rest of his time on those days was unaccounted for. |
