Thursday, December 16, 2004
Las Vegas, NV – Senator John Ensign announced a major water conservation initiative today at the annual conference of the Colorado River Water Users Association. Ensign told attendees he will introduce legislation to utilize funds from the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) in order to expand the popular “cash for grass” program to public institutions.

“It is critical to the continued growth and success of southern Nevada that we continue to be innovative when it comes to water conservation,” Ensign said. “This money is exactly what we need to help reduce our dependence on limited water resources.”

Ensign’s legislation would direct $200 million in proceeds from SNPLMA into a Southern Nevada Water Authority program that would provide a financial incentive for public institutions to remove unnecessary turf. Participants, such as the Clark County School District and area parks, would be encouraged to remove peripheral turf that is not critical to sports and recreation. Estimates indicate that as much as 247 million square feet of turf would be removed, permanently saving 42,000 acre feet of water per year, the average consumed annually by 63,000 households in the Las Vegas Valley.

“This $200 million is priceless in terms of southern Nevada’s future and our continued need for water,” Ensign said. “It will also save our schools and parks a great deal of money that can be better used for educating our children and creating safe spaces for them. I look forward to working with the rest of Nevada’s Congressional Delegation to make this major water conservation step a reality.”

SNPLMA required that a disposal boundary be drawn around the valley and that the disposable land be auctioned to the highest bidder. The proceeds of those land auctions, which have generated almost $1.4 billion, go into a fund to build parks and trails, acquire environmentally sensitive land, maintain the Clark County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan and improve the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Funds are also allocated for water infrastructure and to the general education fund of the state of Nevada.*2

About Senator John Ensign (By the editor of this flier)*3

Senator John Ensign has served the people of Nevada from his days as a veterinarian, small business owner, and U.S. Congressman to his present role as the 24th U.S. Senator for Nevada.

Senator Ensign was raised in northern Nevada and moved to southern Nevada where he graduated from Clark High School. He attended UNLV and earned a Bachelor’s degree from Oregon State University. He received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1985.

Senator Ensign immediately began practicing veterinary medicine and opened the first 24-hour animal hospital in Las Vegas.

Throughout his career Ensign has fought for smaller, more effective government, lower taxes, a strong national defense and aggressive approach to combating terrorists, increased parental control in education choices, and quality health care for Nevada's seniors and veterans.

Senator Ensign was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000 and serves on the following committees: Armed Services; Budget; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and Veterans Affairs. Ensign is Chairman of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee. In addition, Senator Ensign chairs the High Tech Task Force and serves as Vice Chairman of the Republican Steering Committee, a group that shapes the party’s legislative agenda.

Since taking office, Ensign has worked hard to fulfill his promises to the people of Nevada. His Education High Growth Grant amendment, which brings tens of millions of extra dollars to Nevada schools, was included in the education bill signed into law by President Bush. The Prescription Discount Card for Seniors, a key part of Ensign's prescription drug plan, was endorsed by President Bush and would allow many seniors to cut their prescription drug bills by 40%. On the environmental front, enactment of the Ensign/Reid Clark County Lands Bill will protect environmentally sensitive areas in southern Nevada, allow recreational opportunities to continue, and improve the quality of life.

Ensign has taken the lead on technology issues as well. His "Dot Kids" legislation creates a subdomain on the Internet where children can explore the Internet without the fear of being exposed to material parents may deem inappropriate. His bill to delay the 700 MHz spectrum auction from moving forward was a critical step toward improving our nation's wireless network. Both were signed into law by President Bush.

Ensign spends his workweek in Washington and his weekends in Las Vegas with his wife, Darlene, and their three children-Trevor, Siena, and Michael.

John has been honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since November 1999.

"Through the recommendation by our faculty members including Nevada District Judge Valorie Vega and Sheriff Bill Young of Southern Nevada, Miss Nancy Oesterle has been promoted from Assistant Fellow to Associate Fellow of Public Administration Institution (PAI) by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on December 23, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Friday, December 24, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*1

"It's a great venue for me to endeavor my effort and interest to education and community service. Through the cooperation and development among business, academic institute, and government, we're expecting to promote the quality of living conditions for all our residents and visitors of Nevada," said Nancy Oesterle after she was being promoted.

Miss Nancy Oesterle is a judge. She holds the Department 6 Justice of the Peace position.

Judge Nancy Oesterle was appointed to the Las Vegas Justice Court Bench in December of 1990 and became the first female ever appointed in its 89 year history. She has been re-elected to that position twice and has been Chief Judge of Las Vegas Justice Court twice. Judge Oesterle served eight (8) years on the Nevada Judges Association board and was president in 1995. For the past six years she has been the Chairman of the Education Committee for the Nevada Judges Association and she is an active member of the Legislative Committee, speaking frequently in Carson City on bills that affect the Nevada Judges Association. She is a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Judicial Assessment Commission and chair of the Criminal Justice Task Force Sub-committee. She is co-chair of the Nevada Supreme Court Community Relations Committee and a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Mandatory Sentencing Commission. The Nevada Judges Association honored Judge Oesterle with the Distinguished Judge of the Year Award in 1994.*2

Judge Oesterle moved to Las Vegas 27 years ago from South Miami, Florida. She attended the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 1978 and earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice graduating with High Distinction. She then attended California Western School of Law in San Diego and received her Juris Doctor Degree in 1981. Upon graduating from law school, Judge Oesterle was employed by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office as a trial attorney in the criminal division for almost 10 years. During that time period she served six years on the Clark County Bar Association Board and in 1990 was President of Clark County Bar Association. In 1993 the Clark County Bar Association presented her with the Distinguished Presidential Service Award for her service to the Bar and that same year she was honored by the Chamber of Commerce with the Women of Achievement award for the legal category. In December, 2000, Judge Oesterle was named by the Clark County Law Foundation as the first ever Ambassador of the Year Award for her continued community service.

Judge Oesterle believes strongly in the importance of educating the public in all aspects regarding the law. She is the creator, producer and co-host of a weekly TV show, Law For The Layman, which has been airing in Clark County for the past thirteen (13) years. She also volunteers her time to a program she initiated entitled Keys to the Courthouse in which she visits elementary schools on a weekly basis and brings the elementary class to her courtroom to educate them regarding the criminal justice process. She has been the organizer of the Doctor v. Lawyer volleyball tournaments and softball games for charity for the past fourteen (14) years. But her real claim to fame was being a UNLV cheerleader throughout her years at UNLV.*3

In January 2000, Dr. Tony Lei and Dr. William Thompson established the Public Administration Institution (PAI) for WBTI. It has Dr. Thompson as its Fellow and Director; and Nevada State Senator and Professor of UNLV Dina Titus, Justice of the Supreme Court Nancy Becker, Former Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, and Dr. Achie Chang as its Fellows; and District Judges Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Michelle Leavitt, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jessie Walsh as its Associate Fellows.*4

"As the Director of Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I've shared a pleasant leadership with Dr. Tony Lei cooperated by all the Faculty members of this Institution since it's establishment on January 18, 2000. Innovated in integreting his expertise in institutional management and spiritual value in education, Dr. Tony Lei's effort and wisdom for the community service in Nevada in the recent eight years have been very valuable. We expect Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF) founded by this Institute in September 28, 2001 will contribute to improve the quality of life of the people and the prosperity of this State of Nevada," said Dr. William Thompson, UNLV Professor of Public Administration and former Chairman of Department of Public Administration, at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club on January 28, 2002 in Las Vegas.*5

Delegate Nomination for South Shores Community Association

I wish to serve as a delegate because: I (Dr. Tony Lei) will offer my endeavor, knowledge, and ability to carry out the duties for the rights and benefits of the homeowners and residents here in our community. I'll work to motivate both the good production and human relations on the work performance of our Association and the Management Company which we, the homeowners, are paying service fees to support.

Qualifications I feel will benefit the community: Delegates who are good in managemt knowledge and experience will do better with the Home Association Company to promote the work performance for the rights and benefits of our homeowners. Many years as an Associate Professor and a Fellow of Management of the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chung Hsing University and Pepperdine University, I may use my knowledge to serve our community. Many institutions such as Nevadan U. S. Representative Shelley Berkley of the Congress, Assistant District Attorney Office of Clark County, Constable's Office of Las Vegas Township, Raleigh, Hunt, McGarry & Drizin. P.C., among others invited me as the Senior Advisor. I may use my experience to work for our homeowners and residents. I received my M.B.A. and Ed.D. in Institutional Management from Pepperdine University, Malibu, California, but my knowledge and experience will be also important for me to service our community together with my sincere and humble personal traits.

Other information I wish to share: "Dr. Tony Lei has worked for our community in Southern Nevada more than eleven years based on his belief that 'By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of our character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. Let our heroes be the great servants who have given all for the betterment of others' lives. Let our candle fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-increasing circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and evision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy.' We need such a people like him to work for our community," said a District Judge (incumbent with two terms) of our Family Court. I love the atmosphere here, I love the environment here, and especially I love the people here in our community. We should expect both of our Association and Management Company put effort to help our community be of our homeowners, by our homeowners , and for our homeowners. It's a good thing by working for you at the same time working for our families also because both of us are homeowners.*(*This information has brought to you also by Las Vegas Review-Journal 's lasvegas.com through the Section of "Business & Administration" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti)

Nevada’s rich mining history, coupled with its large percentage of federally owned land, presents a complex challenge to state regulators who oversee reclamation of closed mines. The Anaconda copper mine site in Yerington is an example of this. The State of Nevada, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), working in concert through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement, are endeavoring to clean up and reclaim the old mine site. To ensure that all available resources are used in this effort, the State of Nevada has requested that the EPA serve as the lead regulatory agency, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA 106).

Throughout the reclamation process, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) has and will remain focused on its regulatory duty and will continue to make every effort to address immediate threats to human health and the environment. Significant progress has been made by the three agencies involved with the MOU and each step thus far has led to an evolving environmental understanding of the site. The MOU process provided a forum to develop a broad scope of scientific-based plans for remediation.

Atlantic Richfield Company has cooperated with MOU agencies in the site’s cleanup throughout the process. In the past few months, progress has been made in finalizing a work plan for the location of monitoring wells, air-monitoring locations and soil testing. It is the State’s understanding that EPA will use its CERCLA 106 authority to continue this work progress without losing ground or starting over.

I applaud the efforts of Lyon County, the City of Yerington, and the Yerington Paiute Tribe for working together with our state regulators for the common benefit of the community and the environment. As with the cleanup of the Sparks Tank Farm and the subsequent creation of the Sparks Marina, I anticipate that EPA will continue to work closely with NDEP to remediate and reclaim the former mine site. This cooperative effort will not only restore the land but will improve the overall environment for the Yerington community.

On December 3, the State of Nevada received important news when biologists with the U.S. Department of Interior announced that the Sage Grouse does not warrant listing under the Endangered Species Act. This is a preliminary decision, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to make its final decision by the end of December.

The preliminary decision is good news for Nevada, as well as at least 11 other western states containing Sage Grouse habitat. The December 3 announcement recognizes the success of locally led efforts in the West to conserve the Sage Grouse. Nevada’s effort, in particular, has served as a model for the rest of the nation.

Four years ago, I convened the 25-member Governor’s Sage Grouse Conservation Team, which has developed a statewide plan and compiled local plans relating to the future of the Sage Grouse. I am proud of the work these people did. Seven local planning groups, including state and federal agency personnel, nongovernmental agency partners and private stakeholders, identified local risks to Sage Grouse populations, and developed actions to mitigate these risks. More than 9,000 volunteer hours were invested in this bi-state conservation process that stretched from Nevada into eastern California, making it one of the largest resource planning efforts of its kind.

Through this work, Nevada has developed what I believe is a cohesive road map to guide Sage Grouse conservation efforts in Nevada, eastern California and throughout the West. Nevada has made an unprecedented push in addressing this important resource issue, from the highest level of government to the local levels. The preliminary ruling from the Department of Interior clearly recognizes this fact. The Western Governors Association has announced its endorsement of Nevada’s approach, so that the use of best available science and any new science will continue to have a positive influence on this resource planning process. As the West awaits the final ruling from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it is abundantly clear that the citizens of Nevada have played a prominent and successful role in ensuring the future of the Sage Grouse.

TOURISM: A new sense of reality
'The Nevada Passage' a twist on TV genre
By CHRIS JONES
GAMING WIRE

"The Nevada Passage," a made-for-TV reality show, will pit teams of amateur athletes against each other in contests held throughout the state. In one event, contestants will bicycle and hike through Lamoille Canyon near Elko.

"The Nevada Passage," a six-day series, wraps filming May 24 with a whitewater kayaking race through downtown Reno.

RENO - Hoping to emulate The Donald's success with "The Apprentice" while avoiding the critical backlash that was "The Casino," proponents of outdoor adventures in Nevada's backcountry will soon take their message to the masses using a first-of-its-kind reality television program.

The Nevada Commission on Tourism on Tuesday said it is in the early stages of developing "The Nevada Passage," a 60-minute, made-for-television program that will pit teams of amateur athletes against each other in a variety of competitions held throughout the state.

The commission expects the $250,000 program will be syndicated in more than 80 television markets, giving an audience of approximately 2 million viewers a new perspective on how to have fun in Nevada.

"Through this competition, viewers will be able to see the beautiful outback of Nevada. It's just the kind of exposure we want," Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt, who is also commission chairwoman, said in introducing the show at the annual Governor's Conference on Tourism at the Reno Hilton.

The show's first segment, which features a rock-climbing competition, will be taped May 19 at Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. Over the following five days, participants will race personal watercraft at Lake Mead; conduct a four-wheel drive based treasure hunt near Ely; bicycle and hike through Lamoille Canyon near Elko; and ride snowboards down a sand mountain near Fallon. The six-day series wraps May 24 with a whitewater kayaking race through downtown Reno.

Event highlights will also be shown in two 30-minute television programs airing on major networks and local affiliates. Those shows are expected to attract another 3 million viewers.

About three years ago, the commission shifted its focus toward marketing outdoor recreation as a supplement to well-known Nevada amenities like nightlife and gaming. "The Nevada Passage" marks the organization's most ambitious pitch to date, Executive Director Bruce Bommarito said.

"This is really one of the great adventure states in the country, and we want to share that message," Bommarito said.

"The Nevada Passage" will be produced by TEAM Unlimited of Honolulu, which also put together the Nissan XTERRA USA Championship Race at Lake Tahoe, as well as Las Vegas-based R&R Partners, which handles the commission's public relations. Paul Mitchell beauty products, Nissan North America and XTERRA Gear are co-sponsors.

"Through the recommendation by our faculty members including District Judges Mark Denton and Valorie Vega, Dr. Rory Reid has been promoted from Adjunct Assistant Professor to Adjunct Associate Professor of Business Law, Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA), by Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on December 3, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Monday, December 6, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*1

Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid was raised in the Las Vegas Valley. After growing up in Las Vegas, he attended Brigham Young University, where he earned his B.A. in International Relations and Spanish in 1985. Rory continued at BYU, attending the J. Reuben Clark Law School earning a J.D. in 1988. Rory returned to Nevada and began the practice of law. At the age of thirty, he became the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of a local company. After his tenure as corporate counsel, he went on to become a partner at Lionel Sawyer & Collins (lasvegas@lionelsawyer.com), a famous Nevada law firm.*2

Additionally, Las Vegas Life Magazine recently named Rory “Best Up and Coming Politician” in Southern Nevada. On the basis at an adjunct level, his teaching subject in business law will be good for a graduate school in business.

"As a graduate school in business, I'll put more emphasis both on values of theoreticality and practicality. I'd like to suggest eight courses for our China Certificate Program in Management: Financial Analysis, Managerial Accounting, Quality Management, Just-in-Time & Lean Operations, Supply Chain Management, Information Technology, Applied Economic Analysis, and Strategy Formulation and Implementation," said Dean Dr. Keong Leong of GSBPA, who is professor and Chairman of the Department of Business of UNLV, for a Symposium.*3

CARSON CITY -- Controller Kathy Augustine was convicted Saturday by the Senate on one article of impeachment for illegally using state equipment in her 2002 re-election campaign.

Despite the conviction, Augustine will remain in office to serve the remaining two years of her term.

In a 20-0 vote, the Senate censured Augustine, handing down the equivalent of a reprimand. The censure came after the Senate earlier in the day voted 14-7, the bare two-thirds majority needed, to convict Augustine on the least serious of the three impeachment charges against her.

She is the first official to be impeached and convicted in Nevada's 140-year history.

Augustine, who is in the middle of her second and final term as controller, was unapologetic following the unanimous vote for censure. She claimed the dismissal of two of three charges against her was a victory and said she would be back at work Monday.

"I want to thank all the members of the Senate for asking the tough questions that finally got to the truth of this entire matter," she said.

Augustine said the charges stemmed from two disgruntled former employees attempting to hurt her politically by making inflated claims about the amount of campaign work they had performed on state time.

She rejected claims that she was abusive to her staff. "We have a very effective management style in my office," she said.

Augustine said the trial, which lasted four days, was difficult for her and will cost her thousands of dollars in legal expenses.

"Character and personal assassination is always a very difficult thing," she said.

Augustine said she does not believe her political future has been ruined by the proceedings and would not discount a run for another political office in two years, including a seat in Congress. "That possibility always exists," she said.

Gov. Kenny Guinn, who called a special session of the Legislature to conduct the impeachment proceedings, issued a prepared statement saying Augustine's own admission of the campaign-related violations to the Ethics Commission earlier this year made the process necessary.

"I would like to compliment the Legislature in moving quickly and giving full and fair consideration to the matter," he said. "As far as I am concerned, the issue is closed, and I know Kathy Augustine will quickly return to serving the citizens of Nevada."

Guinn and other top Republicans had called on Augustine to resign after she pleaded guilty to three violations before the Ethics Commission in September. Augustine, who is paid $80,000 a year as controller, was fined $15,000 by the commission, the most in Nevada history for a public official.

On Saturday, Special Prosecutor Dan Greco recommended that Augustine receive a 60-day suspension without pay as punishment for her lone conviction.

Augustine's attorney, Dominic Gentile, sought censure.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio, R-Reno, proposed the censure, saying Augustine already has been fined and publicly embarrassed.

The punishment, Raggio said, should send a message to elected officials to separate their campaign work from their official duties.

"It is distasteful for us to have to render judgment," he said.

However, Raggio said, a willful violation of the law did occur. "The judgment is not set forth to punish, but to send a message," he said.

Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus, D-Las Vegas, issued a statement following the vote, saying elected officials know that using state equipment or staff for campaign work is improper, no matter the cost involved.

"Some of us who voted to sustain the articles (of impeachment) feel that elected officials should be held to the highest standard, and that was not done today," said Titus, who voted for conviction on all three counts.

The likelihood that Augustine would be found guilty of any of the charges was in doubt early Saturday when the Senate, on an 11-9 vote, dismissed the first and most serious charge against her. That count alleged that Augustine used her assistant, Jennifer Normington, to work on her re-election campaign.

Only a simple majority vote was required to dismiss charges, unlike the two-thirds requirement for conviction.

Augustine then declined to present a case in her defense on the remaining two counts, one of using a state computer and the other of using state equipment on her campaign.

The Senate then voted 11-10 to convict Augustine of using the state computer, short of the 14 votes needed.

The vote on the third count, of using state equipment such as fax machines and telephones on her campaign, was enough for the conviction.

The vote to convict came after an impassioned plea by Sen. Bob Coffin, D-Las Vegas, for acquittal on all charges. Coffin said her impeachment by the Assembly three weeks ago was punishment enough.

"We have put the stain of impeachment on Controller Augustine for the rest of her life," he said. "I believe in acquittal. I believe in a clean judgment."

No one else spoke before the vote.

Voting with Coffin for acquittal on the third and final charge were Sens. Bob Beers, R-Las Vegas; Barbara Cegavske, R-Las Vegas; Mike McGinness, R-Fallon; Dean Rhoads, R-Tuscarora; Sandra Tiffany, R-Henderson; and Maurice Washington, R-Sparks.

Coffin later abstained on the vote for censure.

Following the vote to convict, the Senate heard arguments from Greco and Gentile on what Augustine's punishment should be.

Greco said he originally had intended to seek to remove Augustine from office. But gaining a conviction on only the least serious charge made him unwilling to pursue a penalty that severe, he said.

Gentile said he was surprised and pleased that Greco did not seek to oust Augustine. But Gentile, who argued for only a censure, also made a case against removal.

"To remove Kathy Augustine from office for using phones and fax machines will not assist the public in trusting you," he told the Senate. "It would be a bizarre response."

Gentile also argued against the suspension without pay proposed by Greco because Augustine already had been fined by the Ethics Commission.

"You're harming the public if you take her out of that office for 60 days," he said. "Now you may be teaching her an additional lesson, but you know what, she doesn't need any more lessons here. She's been fined $15,000, and she has the scarlet letter of impeachment permanently emblazoned upon her."

Despite an earlier suggestion that Augustine should pay for the cost of the special legislative session if found guilty, Lorne Malkiewich, executive director of the Legislature Counsel Bureau, said he knew of no such discussions. The final cost of the special session will run between $150,000 and $200,000, he said.

The following press release entitled "LINCOLN COUNTY LANDS BILL SIGNED INTO LAW,"*2 was released by the Office of U. S. Senator John Ensign in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, December 1, 2004.

President George W. Bush has signed into law a bill authored by Senators John Ensign and Harry Reid that will allow for the sale of federally owned land in Lincoln County and establish protections for environmentally sensitive lands there. The House version of the bill was authored by Rep. Jim Gibbons. The President signed the Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 2004 last night.

“A lot of people with varying interests and priorities came together to forge a compromise that will benefit the people of Lincoln County for generations,” Senator Ensign said. “We’ve created a boost for Lincoln County’s economy while protecting environmentally sensitive areas and allowing for the development of new water resources. It is very gratifying to see this bill become law.”

“This bill creates opportunities for conservation, recreation and development in Lincoln County,” Senator Reid said. “It is a good compromise that ensures that our public lands will be used for the public good. It’s a great example of what we can accomplish when we work together in a bipartisan manner.”

"This bill was the epitome of compromise and responsible public lands policy. It is good for Lincoln County and all of Nevada,” Rep. Gibbons said. “The final product not only protects sensitive lands but also increases, albeit by only a modest amount, the level of private property in a county where the federal government controls 98 percent of the land. I am pleased that we were able to pass this legislation before the close of the 108th Congress and am glad President Bush signed it into law."

The Lincoln County Conservation, Recreation, and Development Act of 2004 will distribute the funds from Lincoln County land sales, which will be set at 85 percent for the Bureau of Land Management, 10 percent for Lincoln County, and 5 percent for the state education fund. The county will now be eligible to receive special account dollars through the 1998 Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act for parks, trails, conservation projects and capital improvements on federal land.

The legislation also establishes a corridor for the possible future transport of water to Clark County, while allowing Lincoln County to develop new water resources for future growth.

About Senator John Ensign (By the editor of this flier)*3

Senator John Ensign has served the people of Nevada from his days as a veterinarian, small business owner, and U.S. Congressman to his present role as the 24th U.S. Senator for Nevada.

Senator Ensign was raised in northern Nevada and moved to southern Nevada where he graduated from Clark High School. He attended UNLV and earned a Bachelor’s degree from Oregon State University. He received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1985.

Senator Ensign immediately began practicing veterinary medicine and opened the first 24-hour animal hospital in Las Vegas.

Throughout his career Ensign has fought for smaller, more effective government, lower taxes, a strong national defense and aggressive approach to combating terrorists, increased parental control in education choices, and quality health care for Nevada's seniors and veterans.

Senator Ensign was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000 and serves on the following committees: Armed Services; Budget; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Small Business and Entrepreneurship; and Veterans Affairs. Ensign is Chairman of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee. In addition, Senator Ensign chairs the High Tech Task Force and serves as Vice Chairman of the Republican Steering Committee, a group that shapes the party’s legislative agenda.

Since taking office, Ensign has worked hard to fulfill his promises to the people of Nevada. His Education High Growth Grant amendment, which brings tens of millions of extra dollars to Nevada schools, was included in the education bill signed into law by President Bush. The Prescription Discount Card for Seniors, a key part of Ensign's prescription drug plan, was endorsed by President Bush and would allow many seniors to cut their prescription drug bills by 40%. On the environmental front, enactment of the Ensign/Reid Clark County Lands Bill will protect environmentally sensitive areas in southern Nevada, allow recreational opportunities to continue, and improve the quality of life.

Ensign has taken the lead on technology issues as well. His "Dot Kids" legislation creates a subdomain on the Internet where children can explore the Internet without the fear of being exposed to material parents may deem inappropriate. His bill to delay the 700 MHz spectrum auction from moving forward was a critical step toward improving our nation's wireless network. Both were signed into law by President Bush.

Ensign spends his workweek in Washington and his weekends in Las Vegas with his wife, Darlene, and their three children-Trevor, Siena, and Michael.

John has been honored as Advisor and Vice Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) since November 1999.
