The Record-Courier Political Climate Office is predicting a 70 percent chance of rancor in Minden this afternoon at the Douglas County commissioners meeting. Scattered rancor will start in the early afternoon with the proposal to have larger aircraft seek permission to land at the Minden-Tahoe Airport. Heavy rancor is expected over the $24.7 million north county redevelopment deal with a development consortium to build 30,000 square feet of retail space. To offer a comparison, The R-C center is 14,000 square feet and the Crescent V Center is 40,000 square feet.
