Governor Gibbons has proposed cutting $15 million for a renovation on a UNLV building because there was no matching private funding. The chancellor for the higher education system is upset, and swears that he will get the money back somehow.
I can't help but think that the cut is, at least in part, because of the chancellor coming right out very early on and saying that absolutely everything in their budget was completely essential. He tried to make a preemptive strike to keep his budget. But the Governor can throw his weight around, too.
Politics is often a clash of egos, and this has the makings of a Clash of the Titans.
