| Description | It’s easy to say Gov.-elect Brian Sandoval is Gov. Jim Gibbons, minus the spectacularly embarrassing drama.
No new taxes. The requisite “living within our means” clichés. The budget-is-a-math-problem myopia.
But if his first month as governor-elect indicates anything, it is that Sandoval is not Gibbons, but Kenny Guinn redux. Almost every move Sandoval has made so far — and I grant you time will tell if they are real or cosmetic — has been less redolent of the insular Gibbons than the ecumenical Guinn.
This has little to do with taxes — I believe Guinn ran with the intention of presenting a tax package (it took him three sessions) while Sandoval ran with the intention of winning, period. But the incoming governor’s style and approach are Guinnesque, from his postelection calls to legislative leaders to his outreach trip to Washington this week to his transition team announced Monday. |
