2021 meetings, which may be summarized as follows:
ALLEGATION NO. 1: At its January 4 meeting, the Commission

violated the OML by allowing Commissioner Danny Tarkanian to

ALLEGATION NO. 3: At its January 7 meeting, the Commission's
agenda item regarding a contract with Reno-Tahoe Construction, Inc.,
