Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I rise today to honor Mr. Robert ``Bob'' Forbuss for his service to the people of Nevada. Tomorrow evening, at its Annual Convention and Tradeshow in Las Vegas, the American Ambulance Association will honor Mr. Forbuss for his many years of work on behalf of ambulance services in Nevada and throughout the Nation. Today I am happy to call the attention of the Senate to the selfless service that my good friend has rendered to the State of Nevada. Bob is a native Nevadan who has served this community for nearly four decades as an educator, elected official, businessman, and community advocate. After earning his degrees in political science and public administration from Long Beach State University, Bob returned to Las Vegas and began his professional career as a teacher at Bishop Gorman High School from 1972-1979. He then served on the Clark County School Board of Trustees for 8 years and was an influential advocate for education initiatives in Southern Nevada. For his many years of service to education in Nevada, Bob was eventually honored by the Clark County School District in the naming of the Robert L. Forbuss Elementary School. It is fitting that such a fine educator will forever have his name stamped on the hearts of the students that attend Forbuss Elementary School. During his tenure at Bishop Gorman, Bob became an emergency medical technician, EMT, and worked during his summer breaks for Mercy Medical Services.…”
