  • SJR3 March 2, 2015 Bob Miller: I Support
    Testimony from the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections Re: SJR3 March 2, 2015 Bob Miller: I support S.J.R. 3. From 1987 to 1989, I was Lieutenant Governor of the State. The Governor at that time was Richard Bryan. We did not run as a ticket, but we were both of the same political party. At that time, besides presiding over the Senate, the Lieutenant Governor chaired the Commissions on Economic Development and Tourism. Because Governor Bryan and I had a good relationship, he assigned various duties and additional responsibilities to me. One assignment was chairing a task force studying the May 4, 1988, Las Vegas Valley explosion of the Pacific Engineering and Production Company of Nevada, commonly called PEPCON. Our relationship was a good example of having two individuals trust each other and work together. In 1989, I became Governor and held that office for the next 10 years. During that time, I had three Lieutenant Governors, the first of which was me, since I was both Lieutenant Governor and Governor. That worked well as I seldom disagreed with myself. The other two Lieutenant Governors were both Republicans—Sue Wagner and Lonnie Hammargren. Lieutenant Governor Wagner and I had a good relationship with a significant element of trust between us. She had a limited number of responsibilities, which was characteristic of us having not run as a ticket. The latter 4 years of my term with Lieutenant Governor Hammargren were quite a bit different. During that time, the State was uniformly opposed to bringing nuclear waste to the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository.

Page 1 of 3 CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release May 11, 2016 Contact David Roddy, (702) 799-5304 Students, staff and local officials celebrate school's Guinness World Record Record-setting activity was tied to the school's reading initiative LAS VEGAS – The celebration of a Guinness World Record at Eileen B. Brookman Elementary School started with the drumline from Eldorado High School parading through the halls and concluded with hand-held confetti canisters being fired into the air. In between, the entire student body heard from various local officials who congratulated them for their record and the reason behind their record-setting attempt that took place in January. At the start of the 2015-16 school year, the staff wanted to encourage students to read more and increase their reading proficiency. The school partnered with Entertainer Adam London, who said he would purchase a glow stick for every book the students read. By January, the students had read more than 20,000 books and the world's longest continuous string of glow sticks was put together to commemorate their achievement. In addition to reaching their goal, the students also became the first school in the state of Nevada to set a Guinness World Record. City of Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman was joined by representatives from Gov. Brian Sandoval's office, Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison's office and U.S. Senator Harry Reid's office in congratulating the students.
