Thank you Senator Reid, for your leadership working for a balanced bill that will provide jobs for the County while also protecting an incredible corner of Nevada. Thank you Senator Heller for working collaboratively during lame duck and this new session to move this forward.

Friends in the News: Wowwed by Wovoka

in the proposed Wovoka Wilderness.
Shaaron Netherton, fearless leader/Executive Director of Friends of Nevada Wilderness, spoke about the Wovoka Wilderness bill in Lyon County with the Nevada Appeal and Associated Press.
 
               “I think it's a good faith effort on the part of everyone. Everybody
               gave a little bit and that's how we get things done in Nevada. It
               was a good bipartisan effort.”

The bill will be re-introduced for the new Congress, along with the Pine Forest Recreation Enhancement Act, later this quarter. You can read the full article here: http://www.nevadaappeal.com/article/20121230/NEWS/121229825/1070&ParentProfile=1058
