In a lengthy report by The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Democratic Commissioner Justin Jones (District F) has been accused by attorneys of a development company of destroying evidence and public records and colluding with Governor Sisolak and others to impede their development efforts. A court-ordered forensic audit of Jones’ cell phone and iCloud accounts found that all of Jones’s text messages were permanently deleted on the very evening of the day the vote occurred to deny the developer’s application, the court filing says. County Planning Commissioner, Jenna Waltho commented: “It saddens me to see this dark shadow cast over our county leaders, but this is a perfect example of what I’ve been talking about. The absolute lack of control or checks and balances that happens when one party can make laws and dictate policy with no one to answer to. The voters need to rise up this election and put an end to the one-party ‘Star Chamber’ that exists on the Clark County Commission.” – Source: The Nevada Globe

‘Nevada County Commissioner Accused of Destroying Evidence Amid Allegations of ‘Quid Pro Quo’ Scheme With Democrat Gov. Sisolak’
On October 20, 2018 via email evidence Jones appeared to bribe Steve Sisolak who was running for governor. The offer Jones made was simple. Sisolak would announce he was against the Clark County Commission hearing matters related to Gypsum Resources in December 2018 and Jones would deliver Sisolak support from environmental groups that he desperately needed to win. Jones also promised that his clients, Save Red Rock, would dismiss their ongoing litigation against Clark County. If Sisolak declined, Jones stated the litigation would be “uncomfortable” for Sisolak.

County Commissioner Accused Of Deleting Texts Prior To Red Rock Canyon Housing Vote’
Drew Johnson stated: “I’ve spent 20 years as a government watchdog and an open records expert. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my career, it’s that elected officials don’t delete text messages unless they have something to hide. Justin Jones obviously has a lot to hide.”

“Developer’s lawyers said they had received text messages from others with whom Jones interacted that showed he received and sent texts prior to the vote. In one late October 2018 text exchange between Jones and Andy Maggi, at the time the head of the Nevada Conservation League, Jones remarked: “If Sisolak doesn’t want to play, then it’s going to blow up in his face tomorrow,” according to the Feb. 7th court filing.” Stated, Las Vegas Review-Journal.

EDITORIAL: New commissioner should recuse himself on Blue Diamond Hill development
In Spite of Advance Warnings, Justin Jones Proceeded To Take The Less Ethical Approach and Voted On Gypsum Resources’ Application instead of Recusing Himself
“As for Mr. Jones, he’ll officially take his seat on the commission in January and says he no longer represents the green nonprofit. But if members of Save Red Rock think having their former counsel on the seven-member board will be enough to kill the Blue Diamond Hill plan, they may be disappointed. Mr. Jones is hopelessly conflicted here and should recuse himself from any debate or vote on the issue. If he takes the less ethical course, Gypsum Resources has a very good chance of once again prevailing in court.”
