Scarcity of providers, high costs part of “daunting” task facing new healthcare focused commission

Thursday, February 13, 2020 1:00 AM

Members of the state’s new Patient Protection Commission had a lot to say about the status of health care in Nevada, but the general consensus was clear — costs are too high and there are too few providers.
Price, licensing, and access for special populations were among the topics of discussion at the first meeting of the new commission on Monday. Gov. Steve Sisolak first promised to form the commission while on the campaign trail in 2018 and appeared at the meeting in person in Las Vegas to talk with the group and share his own goals.
Mercury storage: Nevada gold operators sue Department of Energy over decision to ship mercury to private Texas facility

Thursday, February 13, 2020 1:00 AM

In 2008, Congress passed legislation to ban the export of mercury. The legislation, sponsored by then-Sen. Barack Obama, aimed to reduce global emissions of a toxin that can accumulate in food supplies after it’s released in air or water. Congress passed the bill with near-unanimity.

Thursday, February 13, 2020 1:00 AM

Pershing County will join a lawsuit against a new state “red flag” law that allows courts to order confiscation of firearms from those considered a threat to themselves or others. Sheriff Jerry Allen asked the county to take a stand on what he calls a violation of second amendment rights.
The litigation was filed late last year by NevadansCAN (Citizen Action Network) to block AB 291 scheduled to become law on January 1, 2020. Last week, Pershing County District Attorney Bryce Shields told county leaders they could participate in the lawsuit as intervenors in the case.

Wednesday, February 12, 2020 1:00 AM

A tabletop replica of the Pershing County Courthouse has attracted donations for the Pershing County Senior Center. Designed by Lovelock woodworker Tom Hildenbrand, the little structure is for the birds and some lucky bird lover will take it home after the birdhouse raffle on May 1.

Wednesday, February 12, 2020 1:00 AM

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” Dr. Seuss could have been describing the Mustang Youth Team.
