“Health care,
transportation and infrastructure are issues that deeply affect us
all, said Governor-elect Gibbons, “and they will remain of vital
importance in our growing state for the foreseeable future. The
recent report by the Governor’s blue ribbon panel on transportation
and this week’s agreement to mediate the nurse’s strike both
highlight their impact on Nevadans and the challenges our state
faces. The people on these working groups have the experience,
expertise and bipartisanship to review how the state currently
addresses these issues and to help me work through them going
forward.”
