Michael Dale alerted me to this a fascinating story from the Las Vegas Sun about Patricia Mulroy, who heads the Southern Nevada Water Authority and is the putative "800-pound gorilla" of Western Water.
And that's the nicest name some people call her.
One might call it a "puff piece" but I found it quite informative. I always wondered how she got started. Now I know.
Look at the picture. You want to mess with her?
Mobster Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro hovering over her desk? Watch it, Tony!
Interesting that she apparently has no formal training in water.
We can complain about how unrelenting she is, but she gets the job done for Nevada, primarily southern Nevada (Clark County). Many water agencies undoubtedly wish she was their director.
