On the recordOctober 10, 2000
to my great friend from American Samoa, I want to say that this land of 8.7 acres is squeezed in between condominium developments and a Safeway shopping center right in front of it. This is not the pristine type of ground that one normally envisions when we talk about environmentally sensitive lands with great vistas looking out over Lake Tahoe. The fact is that this land is going to be better off being utilized as a school because the environmental sensitivities will be taken into consideration by the school in its development plan. It will actually enhance the environmental sensitivity of the land as well. Let me also say that the League to Save Lake Tahoe, the well-known, well-respected environmental group that looks after much of the Lake Tahoe area does not oppose this bill. This is a critical piece of legislation for the students of Nevada.
