on Friday, the day that thousands of Federal workers in Nevada and across the country missed their first paycheck of the Trump shutdown, I was in Reno meeting with two dozen affected workers and families who work for our Federal…

many Federal workers in Nevada and across this country will miss their first paychecks tomorrow due to this shutdown. Our President's govern-by-chaos approach has pulled the rug out from hundreds of thousands of Federal workers and…

like my colleagues, I, too, want to honor and express my gratitude to my friend and colleague, Senator Dean Heller. Most people don't know that he has spent 30 years serving the great State of Nevada. I have heard everyone talk about how…

Why do we still have, even though there is a direct delineation of who has jurisdiction over this crime?

no agency can adequately respond to violence it does not track.

What I have found is it is very confusing, right? It is set by Federal statute.

So are you saying there should be better coordination, better training for those that are initially first responders that are responding?

that means no bonus, no incentive, nothing should be looking out for your own interests over somebody else's. That is my concern.

What they do not want are hidden incentives or incentives that are clearly inconsistent with making a recommendation that is in the interest of the client.

there is now an incentive for them to make money. And I have always found--and I was a former Attorney General--that when you put those incentives there, it really erodes looking out for the best interest of the client, and that is my…

Isn't it true that just any incentive works against the best interest of the client?

I supported the Department of Labor's fiduciary standard.

Those guidelines that you have identified, is that a best practice across the country for the State comptrollers?

Unfortunately, there was a Presidential directive terminating Temporary Protective Status and a number of the employees that I have met here that work in our restaurants and food service, some of them have TPS and have concerns.

How much goes to Capitol projects. How much goes to staff. Traditionally, I am just familiar with the budget, most of it goes to salaries and benefits.

Then, can you address sexual harassment in the workforce and how you address the need for training, and to stop it and prevent that from happening?

I am a big proponent of diversity. I think our government should mirror, in our workforce, the diversity we see in our community.

I think disclosure goes a long, long way.

As a matter of practice, we generally support disclosure as a tool to address conflicts of interest.

I think we have reached the point in this industry where, yes, there needs to be a role for the SEC.

If it flows our access to information, compromises their independence, and poses significant cost incentives, we would oppose it.

Do we need to be concerned that proxy advisory firms recommend votes in favor of management recommendations more often than an alternative view?

I notice my time is up. Thank you very much. I appreciate the conversation today.

I rise to speak out in opposition to the nomination of Kathy Kraninger to serve as the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB is a consumer's watchdog on Wall Street and the big banks. It was created in the…

And, Ms. Gardineer, would that satisfy your concerns as well about kind of streamlining some of the mandated reporting requirements?
