![]() By: Rana Goodman The gang here at The Vegas Voice just never seems to stop coming up with fun ideas but we need to hear from you, our readers to know if you think they are as great as we do. President Ray got this brainstorm, I think because he is really into big bands himself, that we should be having some fun and producing a BIG BAND DANCE NIGHT. We all loved the idea and started to polish it and make the idea even better. How does this sound? Buffet dinner, dancing to LIVE big band music, for $19.95 per person. It sounded swell to me… See I’m even throwing myself back in time with the “jargon”…. But then I asked publisher Dan “what about locations, you know what they say, location, location, location! “ “What is we spread it around, one month Henderson, one month Summerlin, one month in the middle”… ? Now we need answers from you. Please click the comment section and let us know what you think. ![]() By: Rana Goodman Political Editor Rana Goodman appearing before the Nevada Legislature. As outlined in her current column, Rana spoke in favor of Senate Bill 22 that increased the criminal penalties for senior abuse. I was not able to travel up to Carson City in time to testify on Senate Bill 22 which was the “housekeeping” part of making the penalties for senior abuse more severe. I took my testimony down to the Sawyer Building and spoke via teleconference to the Government Affairs Committee. They of course told me that I would have to make a “do over” which I will gladly do, since this is an issue that I will make on my “soap box” to whoever will hear me. As soon as the next bill is placed on the calendar I will be on a Southwest flight up north. I want to thank all of you who have sent e-mails on this topic since my column came out in the February issue. If you can send me your thoughts I will carry them with me, the more the better. We need to show our legislators just how wide spread this problem is. Our elders need to be protected just as surely as our children do. I need your help to make it happen ![]() By: Rana Goodman Well now, it looks like I am getting a challenge from my publisher, but if he thinks he is going to scare me into the kitchen he will be eating tuna sandwiches for a while. Yes, he is right, I do love tilting at windmills, but I am not quite as naïve as “the boss” thinks.(smile, sure!) |
