“I hope legislators recognize the importance of homeowners associations and the value of maintaining common areas for the members and the state as a whole. Reasonable legislation is needed to support boards’ efforts rather than more legislative over-reach.”
Anne Calarco, CMCA,AMS, PCAM • President & Managing Partner, Level Property Management
“I hope the legislators can put aside their political differences and bickering to focus on what politicians are supposed to do – represent the people of Nevada. Whether you are a Republican or Democrat, you are a Nevadan first.”
Jamie Cogburn • Co-Founder, Cogburn Law Offices
“I hope legislators pass bills that better support small businesses and the growth of small businesses, especially in regard to financial backing. It is still difficult for many small businesses, even those with solid financial standing, to get loans.”
Stephanie Shirit • CEO/Founder, Resource Associates of Nevada, Inc.
“I hope the legislature will make education their priority. We will never accomplish our economic diversification goals without better school/universities and a better educated workforce.”
Kirk Jacobson, CPA/CFF/CITP, CFE • Shareholder, Johnson Jacobson Wilcox CPAs
“I hope legislators dedicate more time to immigration issues. With a comprehensive immigration reform on the way, which will provide a pathway to citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants, Nevada legislators need to assure that local businesses and individuals are provided the tools they need for a smooth transition.”
Tara H. Popova • Vice Chair, Immigration Department, Marquis Aurbach Coffing Law Firm
“In the current legislative session, I hope Nevada continues discussions on how to create jobs to help Nevada become energy independent. Let’s get Nevadans back to work in solar, wind and geothermal facilities that will power our state and neighboring states.”
