My name is George “Eddie” Lorton and I am asking for a few minutes of your time with this video to allow me to introduce myself to you more personally.

I fight for citizens, not for special interest groups or friends. I’d love for my reputation to earn your vote for the Reno City Council at Large. Thank you for watching. If this video speaks to you, please forward it along to your friends.

Thank you, Reno. It is a pleasure to call this community my home for my 57+ years.

Pay Down Our $1 BILLION Debt

  • The city owns hundreds of millions in surplus
    property we can sell – instead of giving it away.
  • Proceeds from surplus property can pay down our
    city debt and fund needed new police and fire stations,
    while keeping senior fees and taxes low
  • The city is spending millions on the homeless shelter
    when it’s the county’s responsibility to place & pay for
    it. We must work with the county but its their fiscal
    obligation, not ours.

Fiscal responsibility

  • Open closed fire stations and pools – instead of
    frivolously renting whale art pieces
  • Move ice rink back to the river where it earns
    $110,000 a year and people want it there.
  • Stop the $1 million a year subsidy to the ballpark.
  • Make sound business decisions.
  • End giveaways to friends
  • The city wasted $2.5 million on the ADP payroll
    system after being advised for two years that the
    system would not work for them
  • Affordable housing plan.
  • Wasting $7 million on the RGJ Building
    for the new police station instead of using
    city-owned land and saving the $7 million.

Look After Our Citizens

  • Made the ballpark pay $1.8 million in back taxes.
  • Sponsored turning the arch lights blue once a year
    since 2012 to honor fallen police officers.
  • When the previous City Council tried to run for
    another 12 years against term limits, I took them to the
    Nevada Supreme Court and won – honoring what 80
    percent of the people had voted for!

End Dysfunction at City Hall

  • End sexual harassment and lawsuits at City Hall.
  • End favors to political friends.
  • Stop appointing unqualified people to important
    positions.

Funny how the developer and City of Reno tries to mitigate corruption. This is the daybreak project, the same one that most council members took lots of money for a yes vote to build in a flood plain. Devon Reese got 35,000.00 for his yes vote and the City just lost a lawsuit for building in a flood plain in Lemmon Valley. I wish this Council would wise up and represent the people instead of special interest groups. The lost lawsuits alone cost our City millions from their bad decisions. Then they want to raise your taxes, people get what they vote for. ... See MoreSee Less

The City of Reno will also be liable for allowing the Daybreak project to go through. You know the one that most council members got big money to vote yes to building in a flood plain. ... See MoreSee Less

Another good decision

Reno needs strong leadership that won’t cater to special interests.

Eddie Lorton isn’t afraid to tackle the tough issues!
