The drinker has a mayor problem.

The Nevada Appeal reports: "According to the arrest report, Teixeira told the trooper he'd had two drinks."
"He went on to say he didn't believe he had a drinking problem."
"If anything, he said, his weakness is socializing too long. Whether it's alcohol or cola being served, if the conversation keeps him engaged, he imbibes..."

He's got a socializing problem?

A call placed to the Old Globe Saloon looking for Marv at 10 a.m. this morning didn't turn anything up. "I was told this was his office," I said.
"Well," chuckled the guy who answered. "It's one of them."

I then called the mayor's office (775) 887-2100 and asked for Marv, thinking maybe he was sleeping one off on his office couch."This is a personal problem," said the dour lady who answered the phone. "Personal problem?" There's a 72-year-old lush driving drunk and speeding on our streets. But, yeah, that's his problem. "I'll give you his voice mail," she said.

650 votes? Does that mean there are 650 bartenders in CC?

Mayor Marv likes to drink.

Mayor Marv likes to drive.

As a policy-maker, he's so-so...but as a drunk, he's number one! This blog is dedicated to our liquid-loving leader, Mayor Marv Teixeira.
