Heads up, Cory

Heads up, Cory

The Reno Gazette-Journal has positioned a competitor to popular longtime columnist, Cory Farley.

In a note to readers, RG-J editor Beryl Love wrote, “Another thing we heard on our listening tour is that about half of you love RG-J columnist Cory Farley. You really love him. The other half of you wonders, to put it mildly, why we can’t find a local columnist who writes from a perspective a little more right of center.”

The new addition to the newspaper’s roster is Randi Thompson, member of the Washoe County Airport Authority and registered lobbyist for the National Federation of Independent Businesses. Thompson has run for office several times and has lobbied for putting high level nuclear waste in Nevada at Yucca Mountain for at least three organizations— the American Nuclear Energy Council, Nevadans 4 Carbon-Free Energy, and Nevada Alliance for Economic Prosperity. She also sits on the board of Nevada Opera.
