editorials and opinion.

A coalition of Nevada and California regional officials is making a serious effort to land the 2018 Winter Olympic Games for the Reno-Tahoe area.
The 24-member coalition of businessmen, politicians and other key players has been quietly working on the plan since 2002.
If successful, it would be the second time for the Reno-Tahoe area to have landed the Olympic Winter Games. The 1960 Games were held at Squaw Valley, Calif.
“It has great potential,” Jim Vanden Heuvel, CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Winter Games Coalition, said about the effort. “We’re dedicated to being the next United States venue to host an Olympics.”
But with improvements costing over $1 Billion dollars needed to build the infistructure many wonder what is the true cost/benefit ratio.
