Tomorrow in Carson City, Nevada, there will be a memorial service for former Mayor Marv Teixeira. Marv called Carson City home for about 50 years, coming from the bay area as the IBM typewriter--I know that is a phrase that is foreign to…
It is nice to see that the assault on the authority of this branch continues. It is sad that it continues from within, and it is interesting to hear westerners talk about issues that are particularly acute in Western lands. I happen to…
My rural folks whether they are broadcasters or carriers are scared to death.
the timing of when this is going--and we are going to define political activity.
Mike Landsberry, a math teacher at Sparks Middle School, passed away just about 50 hours ago. He was 45 years old, an Alabama native, high school athlete, coach, husband, brother, dad, marine, Nevada Air Guard senior master sergeant, and a…
Nothing in the legislation says please ignore water issues when you are making permitting decisions.
They have usurped that authority completely and said, I have groundwater concerns and therefore I am conditioning your permit or I am denying it without ever talking to the individual who under State law has exclusive authority to…
I look forward to continue working with all of my colleagues--all of my colleagues--on a bipartisan basis, because that is the only way--only way--we ever get anything done in this place.
I think there is also a requirement for you to look at the overall mission, which is bigger than the law.

I am honored to be here today to present this to you and ask for your support of the Las Vegas Valley Public Land and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument Act of 2013.
For all these reasons I support H.R. 2015 and want to thank the subcommittee for holding this important hearing on this bill that is important to all Nevadans.
I am honored to be here to ask you to support passage of the Las Vegas Valley Public Land and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument Act of 2013.
H.R. 1167 would rectify in one single act issues that have prevailed for over a century and a half.
Congressman Amodei has developed a simplified, streamlined approach to cure this issue.
Well, you sure can, which is what you are doing right now, my dear colleague.
It is a logical, simple act that will once and for all restore property rights to the people of Storey County as the rightful owners and end over a century and a half of confusion and frustration.
Only in Washington would we be having a debate about whether 4 years is okay or 2\1/2\ years is okay when we're talking about a jobs bill. And only in Washington would we talk about cherry-picking when we're talking about the vast majority…
Having a real debate on this issue is something that I wholeheartedly support. We probably ought to start with the facts. First of all, you've heard much about the overly broad definition. H.R. 761 deliberately contains a broad definition…
I want to thank my colleague from Rhode Island for the eloquent description of what the underlying bill does. I tend to agree with his description on how critical this legislation is. I am surprised at the tone, though, when we already…
