Editor's Note:

This is from a Press Release issued today by Citizen Sam Dehne, a former US Air Force pilot who likely holds the record for most City of Reno meetings attended consecutively, and is the self-described "Encyclopedia of Reno Government." From my observations here at SSNS, that claim is valid. Sam is seen by many as flamboyant, even eccentric, especially for playing his guitar and singing songs of parody and satire at Reno and Washoe County Board meetings, including those of the Airport Authority of Washoe County (AAWC). During an interview in the February time frame, people were constantly coming into the Starbucks where Sam and I were sitting and thanking him for what he was doing on their behalves in order to hold Reno Government accountable to the people. Sam is sharp as a whip, so don't let the eccentricity angles of his adversaries throw you for a loop. Sam Dehne has our attention here at Silver State News Service, and we hope he has your attention, too. Our hope here at SSNS is to update our interview with him and introduce him to you in the very near future.

SSNS intends to publish his Press Releases from here on out...here is the first in what should prove to be a long series of expose-type material from Sam Dehne, a US Air Force Academy graduate who received his diploma from no less than President Lyndon Baines Johnson:

Concerned Citizens,  12/09/04

Thanks in some large part to the Whitewashing of Sam Dehne's recent
Lawsuit against the Reno airport, the Reno Airport board today voted
unanimously to shut down the televising of the monthly Board meetings. 
This means there will be no effective way to keep track of their
scandalous skullduggery.  (Audio tapes are WWII stuff.)
BUT DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS FROM THE
RENO NEWS REGURGITATORS... print, TV, or radio.

The Reno airport board of aviation amateurs perpetrated this
chicanery under the guise of saving money.  (It costs a grand total
of $3,600/year to bring the real live Truth to the citizens via television.) 
On the other hand, the Reno airport board now plans to spend a vastly larger
amount of money bringing THEIR version of their "Truth" to the citizens. 

And here is how they camouflaged the wording on the Public Agenda:

"Approval of Alternative Communications Program to Enhance the
Overall Effort to Inform the Public of Board Actions and Airport Activities"

What?

This is wording right out of Hitler's Third Reich.  Actually, Adolph would
be jealous. 

Just about every time Sam tries to be Mister Nice Guy, something like
this happens.  It's no wonder that Sam is critical of the Reno airport. 
Why did they do away with dueling... at least in a boxing ring?

PS

Amazingly, the agenda item that they rubber stamped just before this
perverted action was... get this... for their real-estate-agent-masquerading-
as-an-airport-Executive-Director, Krys Bart, to enter into an Agreement
with her cronies at the American Association of Airport Executive Directors
for Interactive Employee Training System for the amount of $275,000.
(Do you wonder what kind of kick-back there was from this sweet-heart deal?)
$275,000 equals about 76 years of televising the board meetings.
And these schemes make one wonder if there is truth to the rumors
that this govt bureaucrat used airport employees to paint her private
houses. If true, it makes the beleaguered Kathy Augustine look
like a Saint.

PSS

Thereafter the Reno airport board met to vote Bart another pay raise and bonus...
the proposed bonus alone equaling far more than the cost of televising the board
meetings.
