On a heart attack or stroke, up to six responders may be needed.
Once upon a time, I moonlighted as the mayor of Boulder City. But even then, as now, I mostly earned a living as an attorney. As much as I loathe billing clients, it’s obviously necessary in order to put food on my family’s table.

It’s budget season at City Hall again. At least for the City Council. The reality is that budgeting is a year-round process for city staff, but most of that goes on behind the scenes and only gets brought to the forefront of the council and public’s attention for a few short months each year.

Denise Rohan, the first female national commander of the American Legion (coincidentally sworn in during the group’s national convention in Sparks in 2017), toured Southern Nevada this month.
