Assembly Bill 141

3/19/2019

Melissa Hardy
​By: Melissa Hardy/ Op-Ed Column
 
When I was running for the Nevada Assembly, I knocked on thousands of doors and there were two issues that I heard from voters about more than any other – education, and the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. Assembly District 22 has a large senior population and includes Sun City MacDonald Ranch, and part of Sun City Anthem.

​Despite bipartisan efforts in past legislative sessions, little progress had been made to address the high costs, and I promised, in each conversation I had on this topic, that my first bill would be something to help address that issue.

Preaching (Solely) to the Choir

​​
I could not say it any better than what our 
Call to Action columnist Dan Hyde wrote in this month’s Vegas Voice. He informed our readers as to the difference between a “Politician and a Leader.”

​
A Politician (those we hear and see far too often in this election cycle) will say anything to get your vote! They do this primarily by chastising their opponent. The more negative and outrageous the allegation, the better. On the other hand, a Leader focuses on a clearly defined vision and action plan and his/her only interest is to serve you and me…

Susie Lee breaks her commitment to senior voters, refuses to appear

9/6/2018

Dan Roberts, publisher and editor of The Vegas Voice recently invited the Democratic and Republican nominees for Congressional District 3 to participate in a candidate forum for its senior readers. Both Susie Lee and Danny Tarkanian agreed to participate, scheduled for October 17th at Sun City MacDonald Ranch. However, after initially saying “I will be happy to debate any day, any time,” Susie Lee now refuses to participate.
 
“The forum would’ve given both candidates the opportunity to share their platform with senior voters. Residents in Anthem, Sun City Anthem, Sun City MacDonald Ranch, and Henderson deserve the chance to hear what Susie Lee and Danny Tarkanian stand for, but Susie is now refusing to do so” says Roberts.

Death with Dignity - Our Survey Results

Death with Dignity
​By: Dan Roberts/Publisher
 
“I told you so.” Those were the words from The Vegas Voice political editor concerning our recent survey.
 
To recap: Rana wanted The Vegas Voice to support and lobby the 2019 Nevada Legislature in passing a “Death with Dignity” law. Simply put, such a law would allow a person to end his/her life when their medical condition (as determined by two physicians) is such that they have less than six months to live.

Death with Dignity Part II

In last month’s edition, I detailed my plight with my dad’s end of life issues along with the “Death with Dignity” movement.
 
Under several different names, this type of bill has seen much controversy. Basically it provides for one to be allowed to end his/her life when their medical condition (as determined by two physicians) is such that they have less than six months to live.
 
I believe that such advocacy should be supported by The Vegas Voice but (as usual) publisher Dan disagreed. He did not want to undertake such a controversial position that would upset a substantial portion of our readers.

Death with Dignity

In the last state legislative session, a bill to legalize “Death with Dignity” - a physician assisted procedure of taking one’s own life when terminally ill, never came to the floor for discussion. 

Under several different names, this type of bill has seen much controversy. It has however, now become legal in California (but subject to court challenges), in Oregon and is slowly gaining acceptance across the country.
 
How many of you have had to care for a loved one with a terminal illness? Or perhaps watch them waste away knowing there was nothing you or the medical community could do to help them.

​My father had cancer in his bone marrow and the only thing that kept him going was the steroid Prednisone. His doctor kept trying to wean him off of it, but he would become very weak and lose so much weight, they put him back on.
 
As time went on, each day he would beg me to help him out of his pain and suffering. He would grab my hand and say, “if you loved me, you would help me.”

Why Energy Choice is an egregious amendment to the Nevada Constitution

On March 7th, the following was read into the record at the Governor's Committee on Energy Choice.

After spending 33 hours and 12 minutes over ten days, monitoring the PUC’s recent investigatory workshops about the energy choice constitutional amendment, a parsing of the language used, leads to one take-away point: the vague language induced Nevada voters to believe they would have both lower rates and energy choice.

An Invitation

If you grew up in Las Vegas and stayed, or left and later returned, no doubt you quickly can come up with a list of attributes that fuel your fondness for this city, and just as quickly can make another list of what bugs you about the place. You may be disgruntled, or pleased, or both, about how your hometown has changed.
 
If you came here as a mature adult and stayed, you presumably like this city, but you may have forgotten why. Characteristics that strike the visitor as marvelous tend to fade once you’ve settled in – not the obvious tourist attractions, but subtle properties like the quality of the light, the expanse of the sky, the rust-rippled mountains standing at attention, the desert’s vast spectrum of amber, indigo and tawny hues. Nevertheless, you also have your lists of pros and cons.
