Corps Upstart Challenger

He
has shown time and time again that he is honest and cares about
average citizens. Unlike some other politicians, he cannot be bought.
His intelligence, experience, and common sense place him
head and shoulders above his opponents.
All honest and loyal citizens will want
to support DEHNE
because he will attempt to implement the following Platform
(not in any order of priority):
(Where does the current City
Council stand on these issues?)

SOME "DNA" VIEWS ON THE LOCAL ISSUES
TO DISCUSS, FIX, AND OR UPDATE:
PUBLIC
REFERENDUM VOTES:
Citizens should be able to trust Public Servants to decide controversial
issues in a manner that protects all the citizens... not just powerful
Special Interests... but this is too often not the reality.
Public referendum votes must be used more often so that the "bosses"
(the citizens) can give direction to their Public Servant "employees" when
they are deciding controversial issues.
Citizens can understand public issues IF they are properly informed about
the pros and cons of each issue.
GROWTH:
It must not be allowed to be cancerous. It must pay its way
through impact fees. Taxpayers should not have to pay for negative growth
impacts such as schools, roads, police, etc. The people should vote to
approve or disapprove major proposed projects. Growth should not be decided
by the entities that profit from growth. Neighborhood
self-determination should be the norm. Small enclaves of citizens
should be allowed to decide what happens in the areas where they live.
WATER,
AIR, PATIENCE:
There's not enough! (See GROWTH)
NOISE,
DANGER, BLIGHT, POLLUTION:
There's too much! (See GROWTH)
PUBLIC
INFORMATION:
It is nothing short of outrageous for citizens to fund a $$$$million dollar
city hall brainwashing machine. "Actions speak louder than words." Reports
originating from city hall should be balanced and objective, not slanted to
serve the agenda of those city officials who are subservient to powerful
Special Interests.
JOBS:
Economic development in the Truckee Meadows should be carefully evaluated.
New companies should be discouraged from coming here unless they offer ONLY
quality jobs which will not require public subsidies for their workers. ALL
companies should have to pay taxes at the same % rate as the casinos.
Corporate Welfare should be outlawed. Soliciting and subsidizing Cargo
operations at the Reno airport is ridiculous.
ROTTING
ROADS AND POTHOLES:
The road situation in Reno is an insult to its citizens. City
Hall must prioritize its financial resources. Propaganda machines must be
scaled back and roads fixed. The people have had to complain for too long.
OPEN MEETING LAW:
The Open Meeting Law should be strictly enforced. No more Secret
Meetings! The Nevada Attorney General must start taking action against
Public Officials who violate this law and the spirit of this law.
Unless the so-called state ethics commission will clean up its act, it
should be disbanded for conduct undeserving of public confidence. The
EthComm was created to protect innocent citizens against corruption by
Public Officials. Instead, it has been doing just the opposite.
SPECIAL
INTERESTS:
We have to stop the big boys from making the decisions. Casinos
and developers are important in the local economy, but they should not be
permitted to undermine democratic due process and decision-making.
LOBBYISTS:
Lobbyists should not be permitted to run amok anywhere... Period.
THE
DUTY TO VOTE:
It is every citizen's right to vote. S/he must take the time to diligently
analyze the candidates and issues... and then vote. Please take the
time to register. It takes about 10 minutes. And when it comes time to vote,
there is early voting... as well as all-day voting on election day.
Always remember that expensive billboards and TV ads mean that the candidate
likely owes the Special Interests who fund their campaigns big-time.
All of this assumes that
the vote counters in Nevada can be trusted... which they can't. Read this:
(click).
We should use paper ballots hand-counted by persons pledged to be
honest or go to prison for 20 years with no chance of parole. Each ballot to
have a carbon copy for voter to keep.
AFFORDABLE
HOUSING:
Assistance for home purchases by the
downtrodden is important. But paying $150,000 per home is an insult to the
process. Affordable homes should be just that... affordable. Housing
specialists should be hired to create housing units that sell for $56,000 or
less.
CITY
HALL SHOULD NOT HAVE MOVED:
The Reno city council spent dozens of $$$millions of
precious tax dollars to move to the Cal Neva Building. (Even the
scandal-plagued RSCVA turned this bogus purchase down!)
The Cal Neva building is not citizen friendly... with overcrowded
parking facilities, poor elevator access, susceptibility to terrorist
sabotage... and a myriad other negative aspects.
City Hall was doing just fine in its previous (perfectly
citizen-friendly) location. Citizens' taxes should not have been wasted on a
move to lavish quarters so the council can join their cronies. Some people
even call this building the Black Kremlin... with reference to the fact that
Communist Russia housed most of its evil government organizations in a
single area. Similarly, the Cal Neva building also has several other
government entities as tenants. With the council firmly and lavishly
ensconced on the 15th floor. That building should be sold and city council
should move back to the perfectly good old city hall that was more than
sufficient for operations.EDAWN:
Super-secret tax-funded government organizations like the Economic
Development Authority of Western Nevada should not receive tax dollar
support as long as their meetings do not adhere to the Nevada Open Meeting
Law and are thus effectively closed to the public. Reno's previous mayor was
even allowed to have a private company that continues to have huge
monopolistic contracts with EDAWN. In other words, this super secret agency
has been his employer... and he (wrongly) voted to funnel large sums of
citizens' tax money to his own employer.
RENO
AIRPORT:
The Reno Airport is an integral part of Reno... period! But city
hall has refused to take responsibility for its abusive and amateurish
actions. The terrible Rewana Farms landgrab scheme at the turn of the
century... was an insult to democracy. Appointed persons such as those
trying to run the Reno airport, should NEVER be given the right to
confiscate land away from innocent citizens... under the guise of eminent
domain. And this is what the airport has in its dreams for the confiscated
land:
("click" for Air Cargo
scheme)
If the Reno Airport cannot guarantee that it will stop its massive
expansion... especially the cargo plans for the Rewana Farms area, then
relocation of the Airport should be publicly discussed and voted upon.
Growth at the Airport has been cancerous... with ever-increasing noise,
danger, blight, and pollution. A real Leader would protect citizens
against local self-serving government bureaucrats... instead of contributing
to the problem.
Soliciting and subsidizing Cargo operations in Reno is not good government.
RSCVA:
Another one of those government bureaucracies being run by self-serving
Appointees. Progress is rarely made when organizations use other peoples
money (TAXES) for their projects. That is one of the worst things about the
RSCVA. It was originally created as the Fairgrounds and Recreation
Board to provide events and activities for northern Nevada citizens.
Instead, it has degenerated into building Convention Boxes mostly for
outsiders... and to the benefit of Special Interests. This body should be
comprised of at least 50% common ordinary citizens. One of these days the
taxpayers might not be able to bail them out.
It repeats saying that Appointed people should never have the right to steal
citizens' property under the sneaky guise of eminent domain.
CASINOS:
Reno can not compete with Las Vegas. We must also promote our other local
resources as well. Other businesses should have to pay taxes under similar
guidelines that the casinos have to follow. No free rides! We should have widescope public discussion of the future of gaming in the Truckee Meadows.
Soliciting and subsidizing Cargo operations at the Reno airport is not a
good idea. Reno can not compete with Las Vegas.
PUBLIC
SERVANT PAY:
Public servants should not be paid more than the average salary of the
constituents they represent. They should have to wear
name tags with their salaries clearly depicted below their names.
VOTING
POLICY:
All Public Officials should be expected to abstain from voting on any issue
that benefits his or her major campaign contributor... and/or especially
their private companies and cronies. AND of course they must not be
allowed to vote for their own pay raises.
WATER
CONSERVATION:
Water is scarce in Nevada. Citizens should be asked to use water wisely.
However, water saved should not then go to further development... unless
specific projects are approved by the citizens. During periods when water is
plentiful, good judgment as to water use should be the order of the day.
TOWN
MEETINGS AND NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS:
Citizens should be permitted to discuss and decide major issues. Major
decisions should NOT be made by the big boys. Hard questions asked by
citizens should be given straight, honest answers by government officials.
Immediate neighborhoods (a few streets or blocks) should be permitted
self-determination. Cancerous growth projects should not be forced upon them
by outsiders.
THE
DECISION MAKING PROCESS:
Key issues should be discussed at Public Meetings. They should
NOT be discussed in secret meetings prior to public meetings... using
telephone conferences, serial or chain meetings, less-than-quorum
"briefings", email, memos, directives from special interest groups, or
directives from lobbyists. No more Secret Meetings. THIS IS WRONG!
DRUG TESTING:
The concept of Drug Testing of citizens should be revisited. But as long as
the law requires drug-testing for workers, the bureaucratic "brass" and
elected officials should also have to comply. As a matter of fact, the
elected officials should have to go first. Simply put; that means elected
Public Servants and all top bureaucratic staff should be tested
periodically. In Reno, they refuse to do what workers have to do.
("click" here to read more about
this suggestion.)
NUCLEAR WASTE IN NEVADA:
Let all Nevada citizens decide with a referendum state-wide vote. This is
far too big of a deal for the Special Interests to be allowed to decide
amongst themselves. There is the potential for massive federal government
aid to Nevada if the cards are played right. Any money that does come from
the federal government should be given directly to citizens of Nevada...
legal American citizens who have lived in Nevada for at least 8 years. There
are hoards of problems in Reno that are almost as potentially hazardous...
but very few citizens seem to be concerned about them. (Re-read above
issues.)
ALERT! NEW ELECTION RIGGING
"THEY" FOUND A NEW WAY TO STEAL
DEHNE's ELECTIONS! How?
Don't put the candidate's name on the ballot: [Guess whose name has been
removed by the vote counters]
Reno Voters will never know how many ballots were treacherously altered like
this.

THE TRUTH FROM RENO MAYOR CANDIDATE "DNA" DEHNE
Chad "DNA" Dehne is the Best Person to be Reno
Mayor. Here is why:
CHAD "DNA' DEHNE will make a GREAT Ambassador for our City.
"They" Stole 12,344 Votes From Him in
the 2014
election. Let's not let it happen again!
(articulate,
quick-witted, well-groomed, honest, brave, sensitive... )
Chad & Tommy Chad
CHAD
DEHNE, a 37 Year Reno Resident and Family Man, will be great as Reno Mayor
(Note:
DNA's
grandfather, Doctor Ed Dehne, was one of the Chief Masterminds
(weblink)
of the
Marshall Plan
(weblink). The Marshal Plan was one of the
greatest Reconstruction feats in the history of the world. It saved and restored Western Europe
in the years immediately after World War II.)
Dehne is a typical member of the blue collar community. And thus he
has insightful first-hand knowledge of the issues and problems that more
than 80% of Reno citizens are concerned with.
Dehne has been blessed with savoir faire, sophistication, class, and charm
intertwined with spunk, gumption, and a natural charisma... not found in
those typical "professional" career politician (of which there are far too many).
Dehne says, "It's not about the money... it's about the change".
Dehne will work for healthy interactions between
business owners and their employees. The legitimate interests of business
investors must be protected and respected. Healthy businesses
translate into good jobs for their professional and blue-collar workers.
Dehne,
56, a Marine Corps Veteran, does not have grandiose schemes to inundate the community with ugly campaign signs, obtrusive billboards
(well maybe just a few billboards), TV ads, and bulk mailings during the campaign. And thus he will not owe allegiance to the Special Interests who will want to try to “push his buttons” after he is elected
to Reno Mayor.
...
Then
and
Now
With an onslaught of corruption and disrespect for ethics at many
of the corporate and government "leadership" levels, citizens have a clear choice at the voting booth this year. It is time to get some oversight onto these elected bodies... from a worker who is NOT a member of
a "good ol' boy" club.
Instead Dehne will strive for Grassroots Government in an attempt to get citizens back in charge of their government... instead of just the Special Interests. He will use his Marine Corps training to try and instill a respect for Government,
The Constitution, and America.
“A Vote for DEHNE Is A Vote for YOURSELF.”
Chad Dehne has some pretty
up-and-walking-good genes in his background

leader would be foolish not to call on Sam's infinite knowledge and wisdom
concerning local government problems. After all, he is the Encyclopedia of
