In Las Vegas, which judicial pay status is fake news?

From The Nevada Independent:

From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Michele Fiore is a Donald J. Trump supporter who gained his pardon after being convicted on seven federal charges of siphoning off money from a nonprofit and a political action committee she controlled for personal use. Among the victims was a fellow Republican, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, who testified against her at trial. A former Las Vegas city councilwoman, she was named a justice of the peace is nearby Nye County even though she is not a lawyer. It is this post she remains suspended from.

Sitting in the New To Las Vegas world headquarters, I read the unanimous seven-page court opinion issued on April 10. The decision involved three different cases brought by Fiore against the Nevada Commission of Judicial Discipline, which suspended her, and so is a little confusing.

But the holding is clear. Fiore is suspended with pay–in her case, according to other records, about $85,000 a year. So score one for the accuracy of the Nevada Independent.
