How are retail apparel businesses catering to the consumers who insist on paying as little as possible? ¶ It’s a weighty question in outlet-rich Las Vegas, where some express surprise that the share of off-price buyers isn’t higher. ¶ Among the frugal, surprisingly to some, are affluent consumers, who enjoy the valley’s variety of discount shopping bargain hunting, Continued on page 15

Q&A with Margi Grein
Protecting the vulnerable ‘is what we are all about’ Margi Grein is passionate about preventing the elderly from being taken advantage of. She became executive officer of the Nevada State Contractors Board in 1998, implementing professional training programs and overseeing the creation of a fraud unit. This year, the board organized a series of events highlighting services available to those who need them, as well as disaster preparedness and scam awareness. Do you have any recent news you’d like to share? I am excited about our fraud unit. This is important to me because it advances the mission of the contractors board to the next level in consumer protection. It’s one thing to revoke and discipline a licensee who puts the lives of Nevadans in danger, but it’s another to work with state and federal officials to see the most egregious and devious offenders tried at a higher judicial level with far greater consequences than the board can impose. What is the best business advice you’ve received? Former board chairman Kim Gregory once told me, “When you have big Margi Grein says her organization’s Residential Recovery Fund has awarded nearly projects, pick up the $100 bills first, $9 million to wronged homeowners over the past 17 years.

Siri laughed when I asked her this question. Describe your management style. My style of management is all about empowering my leadership team to ensure everyone on their staff has the skills, vision and direction to be successful. I’m not a micromanager, but I make it a point to stay involved and offer guidance when necessary. I value continuing training opportunities, maintaining strong communication throughout the agency, encouraging collaborative and innovative ideas, and working together toward solutions. What is your dream job, outside of your current field? My dream job would undoubtedly be a position that allows me to mentor young women to become successful professionals by helping them maximize their leadership potential. As a woman who worked my way up from the bottom to the top, nothing brings me greater pleasure than seeing the next generation of women fulfill their dreams, become leaders in our communities, and make advancements in all facets of life. Whom do you admire? I admire my father because when my mother passed away when I was 8, he didn’t waver in his commitment to take on the challenge of raising four kids single-handedly. He remained strong for our family, kept us involved in the church, and overall supported our dreams, well-being and happiness. Back then, that wasn’t an easy feat, yet he did so without hesitation or expression of the toll it may have taken on him. He demonstrated strength and unconditional love in a way I still cherish to this day. What is something that people might not know about you? I was born and raised in Fallon, and have lived in this state my entire life. I also graduated the FBI Citizens Academy a couple of years ago, which was an exciting program to be nominated for and participate in.

Departing Clark County manager talks transportation, property tax caps and land annexation
Lawsuit aims to prevent Alaska Airlines-Virgin America deal
By jackie valley
By chris kudialis
Staff Writer
When Don Burnette began working for Clark County as an intern in 1990, he had visions of understanding the local government’s structure within one year. That turned out to be unrealistic. Burnette, however, did parlay the internship into a fulltime county job. Since then, he has been learning the ins and outs of the nation’s 13th-largest county. And for the past six years, he has served as its man- burnette ager, overseeing the county’s budget and dozens of departments. “I’m not an expert in some things, but I understand, at a pretty decent level, everything,” Burnette said. “I couldn’t get it done in one year, but 26 years later, here I am.” His days putting that knowledge to use are numbered. Last month, Burnette announced his plans to step down this year. He hasn’t set a date but indicated it likely would be soon after the general election in November. Efforts are underway to fill the position and ensure a smooth leadership transition. The Clark County Commission will consider appointing Yolanda King, the county’s chief financial officer, as his successor at its Sept. 20 meeting. “I’m ready to do something different,” Burnette said recently when asked about his decision to leave. “This is the right time to do it.” In a wide-ranging interview with VEGAS INC, Burnette reflected on his tenure and the challenges and opportunities he sees for the region’s future. The commission approved a contract worth up to $2.2 million for a company that will study the outbound leg of the proposed elevated expressway project. Another company will analyze the inbound portion. What do you hope the county gains from these studies? This is a big proposed project. It’s a $200 million project. We do not take these projects lightly. We better have a high degree of confidence that we’ll realize significant improvements in mobility in the resort corridor that would allow us to justify significant expenditure of tax dollars to reach that outcome. I don’t know if we’ll get there. We’ll find out through the analysis that’s being done. In April, the Regional Transportation Commission adopted a long-term vision to improve the region’s mobility, which included light rail and the elevated expressways. Could those projects coexist? They could. My hope would be that the RTC would also engage in a comprehensive analysis of
how the (light rail) project would improve mobility. It’s a huge dollar amount. There’s only so much money we have as a community. We need to make sure it’s invested into projects that yield the greatest impacts in terms of mobility. Growth in the county has led to some tensions between the county and city of Las Vegas regarding annexations. How do you see that playing out? We need to find a way to put an agreement back into place where the city, the county and, ultimately, the residents of the northwest have a common, shared understanding of how growth will take place in years to come. We had an agreement that expired (several) years ago. I think it’s possible to get an agreement back in place. Would some sort of agreement help bury the hatchet between the county and city? It would, absolutely. We had the best of both worlds (under the previous agreement). The city had growth opportunities and obviously experienced some significant growth in the northwest. And the county had some assurances that rural areas would be protected and the impact of that growth would be minimized from their perspective. What are some of the county’s looming challenges? Getting changes in the property tax caps is just going to be critical. Property taxes went from being our most stable to our least stable source of revenue. The property tax revenue that we lost in the recession was $100 million. As the economy rebounded, property tax revenue did not rebound at the same rate. That’s because of how the caps were operating. The recovery of property tax revenue that we lost during the recession is important to this organization because it allows us to grow our workforce and, in some cases, restore the workforce we lost. We’re a service organization. We can’t deliver services without people. I’m hopeful this will be the (legislative) session we see changes to the property tax caps. What do you hope to do next? I really have no idea. Is that scary or exciting? A little bit of both. I’ve got a job and remain focused on my job until the day I leave. Once the board appoints my successor and that transition process begins, I will start thinking more about it. Do you expect to remain in Southern Nevada? I do. This is my home. I’ve spent more time here than I have anywhere else. I love the community, and I have every expectation of staying here.

Consumers have filed a lawsuit in San Francisco to block Alaska Airlines’ purchase of Virgin America, arguing the acquisition is “substantial and foreboding,” and contributes to a growing trend of mega-airline mergers over the past decade. Such mergers increase costs for airline consumers while eliminating expansion, the number of available seats and variety of travel destinations, said attorney Joe Alioto, who is representing the 42 plaintiffs. “Lesser competition can lead to monopolies, and the consumer really loses out in that situation,” Alioto said. “The existence of Virgin America for the free enterprise system is crucial.” The plaintiffs are seeking a court order prohibiting the $4 billion acquisition, which includes Alaska Airlines paying $2.6 billion in cash and assuming $1.4 billion in current debt and leases. The deal was announced April 4 and is scheduled to be completed by December. Eliminating competition between Alaska Airlines and Virgin America would cause ticket prices to rise, the complaint argues. Airline service would worsen and traveler capacity would also be lessened. The new potential owners recently announced their intention to cut approximately 225 Virgin America management positions as part of the merger, a move Alioto called a deliberate attempt to squash the low-cost airline. “The airline stood for new ideas, expansion, nice airplanes, wonderful service and low prices, and innovative ideas,” Alioto said. “It’s the exact opposite of what these other guys are doing.” The 63-aircraft Virgin America, founded in San Francisco in 2007, has about 200 daily flights covering 57 routes to 24 different destinations across the United States. Through August, it averaged 13 flights daily into McCarran International Airport, according to airport figures. Alaska Airlines has 157 aircraft and 880 average daily flights covering 288 routes to more than 100 destinations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica. Comparatively speaking, American Airlines, the world’s largest airline company, has a fleet of more than 1,550 planes and 6,700 daily flights to 350 destinations in 50 countries.

Nevada still ranks high for solar installations By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
Despite a sharp decrease in applications for new rooftop solar projects, Nevada remains among the top states for the deployment of solar resources. Nevada ranked fifth for solar installations during the first half of 2016, a trade group said in a recent study. One reason: large-scale solar projects. According to the study from GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association, Nevada continues to break ground on large-scale projects, even as sales for rooftop solar systems in the state remain a fraction of what they were in 2015. “The cumulative rankings are pretty heavily driven by utility-scale development because those projects are bigger,” said Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for SEIA, a national industry group. As of June, about 81 megawatts of large-scale solar resources had been installed in Nevada (for reference, one megawatt can power about 600 homes for a year). Several projects became operational at the end of 2015, including a solar operation at Nellis Air Force Base and one near Tonopah. NV Energy began construction on two additional large-scale projects this summer, both expected to be op-

erational next year. SolarCity and Sunrun halted their Nevada operations in January, when applications for new rooftop solar systems also began to slow. NV Energy has received about 400 applications this year, compared with the thousands it received last year. The drop-off in applications was not fully reflected in the study be-
cause, Gallagher said, the report focused on installations. During the first two quarters of the year, NV Energy continued adding rooftop solar panels to the grid for homeowners who had applied prior to the rule change in December. The report shows that about 20 megawatts of residential solar capacity had been installed through June.
Across the U.S., solar comprised about a quarter of new energy installed in the first half of 2016. The amount of solar installed during that period increased 43 percent compared with the same time last year. In December, Nevada became a battleground in a nationwide debate over how to value rooftop solar, after the Public Utilities Commission increased bills for most customers. While commissioners said the new rates better reflected the cost of serving solar customers, the decision had an immediate impact on the rooftop solar industry in Nevada and was criticized by solar advocates, who said it was one-sided. SEIA is one of several parties that challenged the PUC decision in court, and a Nevada judge ruled last week that utility regulators followed “unlawful procedure” when they approved rate changes. But the case stopped short of undoing the rates for all customers. The judge’s ruling argued that existing customers did not receive proper notice. In his order, the judge remanded the matter to the PUC. On Sept. 16, the PUC accepted a plan to undo higher bill charges for NV Energy customers who applied for rooftop solar systems before Jan. 1.
Clark County School District overhaul gets final approval By ian whitaker Staff Writer
Starting next year, the Clark County School District as known will cease to exist. A legislative panel voted unanimously this month to approve a sweeping plan to reorganize the fifthlargest school district in the country. Barring a successful legal challenge, the plan goes into effect at the start of next school year and will see the school structure flipped on its head. Principals, teachers and parents will take a greater role in the day-to-day decision-making at schools, while administrators at the district’s central office will play a supporting role. The vote was the final step in a yearlong process that began with the passage of a bill during the 2015 legislative session.
The GOP-backed bill created a panel of lawmakers headed by Republican state Sen. Michael Roberson. The group was tasked with figuring out how to reform what some have viewed as a top-heavy district. “Today is truly a historic day in education in Clark County,” said the bill’s author, Assemblyman David Gardner, R-Las Vegas. “Every school has different needs. This plan will bring the community back into the decision-making process of our public schools and finally allow money to follow the student.” The new model comes with a few major tweaks to how business is done at local schools. Chief among them is a requirement that schools be in charge of at least 80 percent of their budget, with more funding allocated to schools with large numbers of special education, low-income and Eng-
lish language-learning students. The plan, authored by Canadian education reformer Michael Strembitsky and subjected to months of public vetting, had broad support. The local teachers union and administrators union backed the plan, as did the mayors of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. A number of county residents, including some from far-flung rural communities like Moapa Valley, enthusiastically supported the change and lobbied for it through a group called Break Free CCSD. But the concept has critics, too, many of whom voiced concerns to legislators that have plagued the plan almost from its inception. Local civil rights groups have argued the plan would disadvantage minority and low-income communities, and the Clark County School
Board, which would share power with hundreds of school-level committees, reiterated concerns that it would be difficult to hold the system accountable with each school run by a different group of parents and staff. A major hurdle will be getting community participation in areas where it has always been an uphill battle. “We remain concerned that parents, especially from low-income neighborhoods, are still not involved,” said Amanda Morgan of Educate Nevada Now, an advocacy group focused on the new system’s impact on at-risk students and their families. That daunting task will likely fall to the principals of each school. But Stephen Augspurger, head of the administrators union that represents principals, assured lawmakers that “they are ready for this challenge.”

Consumers who purchase at offprice retail outlets are a growing group, according to NPD Group Inc., a global information company based in Port Washington, N.Y. Now representing two-thirds of all consumers, off-price buyers are hardcore apparel purchasers and account for 75 percent of apparel purchases across all retail channels, according to the firm’s receipt mining service.

Although some off-price retailers offer loyalty programs, none seems to stand out as especially compelling. “Some offer 1 percent rewards based on combined purchases, and others offer special promotions or sweepstakes,” Morris said. “However, none of these appears to be enough incentive for consumers to be loyal to an off-priced brand.” Morris said he would like to see a retailer offer a program with greater rewards. “If consumers knew that they would be getting extra discounts based on how much they spend,” he said, “maybe they would spend more or shop the same brand more regularly.” The biggest mistakes for off-price apparel retailers, Morris said, are stale assortments, unorganized and messy stores, and too much focus on price. “If consumers see the same merchandise every time they visit your store, they will lose interest,” he said. “They will be even more turned off if the store unorganized, cluttered or dirty.” Regarding price, he adds, consumers know they are going to get low prices at off-price stores “so retailers should focus more on the quality, style and assortment they offer.”
