Paper saver
Las Vegas Sun capitol bureau chief Cy Ryan listened to a Senate debate while taking notes. Look close and you’ll see that the backside of his sheets of writing paper already have printed text on them—he’s writing on the back of a court decision. Ryan has not bought a notepad for decades. He has always recycled the innumerable reports, speech texts, court rulings, legislation and so on that are dropped on the desks of capitol reporters. In the 1990s when Gov. Robert Miller offered the latest plan for reorganizing state government, it measured 8 and a half inches by 14 inches and about was about 3 inches thick. Ryan eyed it and said, “Its best and highest use is yet to come.”
