  • Happening in Henderson: New Judge Seat Contested as Residents Doubt Crime Drop Claims
    Oct 12 2026

    This week on Happening in Henderson, we're unpacking the 17% drop in violent crime that has city officials cheering and residents checking their doorbell cameras with a healthy dose of skepticism. After a "biblical" weekend of record-breaking rain that sent the Renaissance Fair packing and turned the Strip into a series of expensive rivers, we're looking ahead to a much-needed "Great Housing Reset" and the judicial race for a brand-new seat on the Henderson Justice Court. Join Mark and Joleen as they discuss the Golden Knights' hot start, the debut of local favorite SMKD BBQ at T-Mobile Arena, and why Boulder Highway remains a permanent construction zone for the ages. From the upcoming Bluegrass Festival on Water Street to the latest on the Aces' playoff run, we provide a grounded look at the news, weather, and local updates you need to navigate a valley that is growing significantly faster than its infrastructure.
