After two failed attempts, former assemblywoman Sharron Angle said Tuesday she filed enough signatures to qualify her property tax reform initiative for the Nov. 4 ballot. Angle could not give a solid number for the signatures she turned in to 17 county clerks but said it is more than the required 58,628. "We're over the minimum," she said. "We have a cushion in every county." Angle, who's opposing state Sen. Bill Raggio, R-Reno, in the Aug. 12 Republican primary, was the only petition organizer to submit signatures Tuesday.

Russ Stevens walks out of the North Las Vegas DMV office and is approached by a woman asking him to sign a petition in favor of raising casino taxes to benefit teachers and schools. Suddenly, a young man descends on them, yelling. Say no to the tax grab! Think before you ink! Just say no! Confused, Stevens trudges off, leaving Andrea Grefrath without a signature. Nevadans may think the election is still six months away, but for the various interest groups gathering signatures to get their initiatives on the November ballot, the zero hour is May 20.
