This

a

that
honors
one
of
the
giants

resolution
to

our
former
state,
senator
allison
copelandi
to

and
her
long-term
advocacy
for

E
E
F
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
happy
to
be
able
to
speak
briefly
on
scr-2
when
I
was
first
elected
to
the
senate
in
2010,
senator
copening
was
was
named.
Chair
of
one
of
the
committees
I
was
going
to
serve
on.
I
flew
down
to
vegas
to
meet
with
her.
G
H
Hey,
madam
president,
I
too
rise
in
support
of
scr-2.
Senator
copening
was
a
personal
friend
of
mine.
We
worked
together
for
many
years
at
del
webb
and,
and
we
got
pretty
close,
we
worked
a
lot
of
the
same
efforts
she
was
in
marketing.
I
was
building
all
the
the
recreation
centers
and
clubhouses
and
and
those
go
hand
in
hand,
since
those
are
the
main
selling
features
of
our
communities,
and
so
we
got
to
know
each
other
pretty
well.
H
We
talked
over
the
years
after
we
both
left
that
organization
and-
and
we
kept
in
touch,
I
remember
when
she
first
opened
her
business.
She
was
asking
me
about
some
business
related
things
and-
and
I
don't
know-
we
probably
all
know,
but
she
found
a
calling
in
helping
those
that
were
dealing
with
death
and
it
was
a
something
she
felt
called
to
do
and,
as
has
been
mentioned
now
a
couple
of
times
she
she
walked
the
walk.
H
She
believed
in
organ
donation
and
it
was
inspiring
particularly
to
those
of
us
who
showed
up
at
her
services
and
and
hadn't,
seen
each
other
since
our
days
at
del
webb
and
thought
about
how
she
once
again
brought
us
all
together.
So
I'm
in
complete
support
of
this
resolution
and
urges
passage.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It's
an
honor
to
speak
on
behalf
of
scr2.
The
time
frames
we
had
to
work
with
senator
copening,
who
is
a
tireless
advocate
on
organ
donation
and
also
the
protection
of
cancer.
It
was
fascinating
at
the
timesville,
the
way
she'd
open
up
about
her
stories
about
her
family
and
what
happened.
She
was
just
very
matter
of
fact
about
it
and
it
was
great
to
have
and
the
ability
to
sit
within
the
senate
caucus
and
be
able
to
sit
amongst
other
individuals
and
have
discussions
and
learn
more
about
one
another.
I
It
helped
the
process
and
she
was
great
about
being
able
to
reach
cross-aisle
and
to
do
that
on
a
daily
basis
in
this
building,
and
it
was
always
remarkable.
It
helped
me
to
be
able
to
open
up
because
a
lot
of
times
myself,
I
tend
to
not
share
my
personal
stuff,
but
in
that
respect
she
helped
me
break
out
of
that
and
be
able
to
share
those
type
of
stories
before
that.
I
thank
her
and
it's
an
honor
to
speak
on
behalf
of
scr
too.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
senator
settlemyre,
senator
warren
shaw.
D
Thank
you,
president.
I
too,
like
many
of
the
prior
speakers,
I
got
to
know
senator
copeland.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
with
her.
I
was
over
in
the
assembly
and
a
story
I
like
to
tell
is:
there
was
a
after
the
foreclosure
crisis.
There
was
a
bill
in
maryland
to
try
to
help
keep
people
in
their
homes
and
independently.
D
Again
she
was
a
tireless
advocate
and
I
think
she
cared
deeply
about
her
district
and
the
community.
I'm
sorry
we
lost
her
so
young
and
her
commitment.
Organ
organ
donations,
tremendous,
and
I
hope
that
when
that
transplant
institute
gets
built
in
nevada-
and
we
can
help
more
of
our
our
constituents-
they'll
be
you
know
quite
a
recognition
for
her.
There.

Thank

Madam
president,
senate
bill
46
authorizes
any
person
employed
by
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
who
prosecutes
or
defends
actions
on
behalf
of
the
state
of
nevada
or
the
executive
branch
to
obtain
a
court
order
to
require
a
county,
assessor
county
recorder,
secretary
of
state
or
a
city
or
county
clerk
to
maintain
personal
information
contained
in
their
records
in
a
confidential
manner.
D
In
addition,
sbe
46
authorizes
certain
persons
employed
by
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
to
request
that
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
display
an
alternate
address
on
the
driver's
license
or
identification
card.
Finally,
sb
46
authorizes
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
to
obtain
permits
from
the
department
of
public
safety
to
own
and
operate
emergency
vehicles
in
the
performance
of
their
duties.
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
had
some
concerns
about
section
5
of
the
bill,
which
adds
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
to
the
list
of
agencies
that
can
have
lights
and
sirens
on
their
vehicles.
I
understand
that
they're.
Our
need
will
would
be
a
need
for
this
in
in
the
investigations
division.
If
you
look
at
the
testimony
provided
by
kyle
george,
that's
that's
filed
in
nellis.
G
My
concern
is
that
it's
a
blanket
allowance
for
the
entire
office
of
the
attorney
general
we're
actually
more
restrictive
for
the
department
of
public
safety
than
we
are
with
the
entire
office
here,
but
with
the
understanding
that
this
is
exclusively
for
the
use
of
sworn
badged
and
armed
officers
with
the
attorney
general's
office,
I
can
support
it,
which
is
the
testimony
from
mr
george.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
was
just
curious
if
I
could
ask
somebody
the
question
when
it
states
that
any
person
employed
by
the
office
of
attorney
general
who
prosecutes
or
defends
actions
on
behalf
of
the
state
of
nevada.
I
understand
that,
but
it
says,
or
any
agency
in
the
executive
department
of
the
state
government.
I
So
in
that
respect,
does
this
allow
the
attorney
who
works
for
the
governor
to
redact
his
information
and
consider
that
information
confidential,
even
if
he
potentially
hires
someone
to
defend
a
case
that
isn't
an
employee
or
do
they
still
have
to
be
an
employee
of
the
governors?
In
other
words,
if
he
hires
an
outside
counsel
on
a
case,
does
this
allow
that
outside
counsel,
because
I'm
a
little
confused?
I
understand
anybody
is
employed
by
the
ag,
but
they
also
have
to
be
employed
by
the
executive
department,
or
can
they
be
outside
counsel.
A
O
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
to
my
colleague
from
the
senate
district
I
can
read
17..
F
The
way
that
I'm
reading
this
is
that
it's
any
person
employed
by
the
office
of
the
attorney
general
who
prosecutes
or
defends
actions
on
behalf
of
the
state
or
any
attorney
general,
who
also
serves
as
counsel
for
an
executive
agency
of
the
state.
So
this
would
pertain
according
to
my
reading,
and
I
don't
work
for
the
attorney
general's
office
and
wasn't
there
for
the
hearing.
But
when
I
look
at
this
language
because
it's
all
in
one
subsection
g,
it's
not
broken
out
into
different
items.
F
That
the
way
that
I
read
this
is
that
whether
you're
a
deputy
attorney
general,
who
defends
or
prosecutes
cases
generally
or
would
be
assigned
to
a
case,
or
if
you
are
specifically
one
of
those
that
have
been
assigned
to
an
executive
agency.
You
would
fall
under
this
definition.
So
I
think
it
just
applies
to
attorney
generals.
As
I
read
this
language.
B
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
honor
that
today
is
international
women's
day,
and
so
I
you
know,
I
think
it's
important
for
us,
especially
in
this
building,
to
acknowledge
that
that,
on
today's
date
and
as
such,
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
honor
at
least
one
woman
in
nevada
history,
who,
I
think
has
influenced
not
only
this
building
but
the
state
as
a
whole.
F
F
I
have
chosen
today
to
highlight
and
to
honor
former
speaker
of
the
assembly,
barbara
buckley
speaker,
buckley,
was
elected
to
the
nevada
assembly
in
1994
representing
assembly
district.
Six
excuse
me,
assembly
district,
eight.
I
always
am
inclined
to
say
six,
but
she
represented
assembly
district,
eight
in
clark
county.
She
served
as
the
assistant
majority
floor
leader
from
1997
in
1999
and
as
majority
leader
for
the
assembly
from
2001
to
2005..
F
Her
17-year
legislative
career
demonstrated
that
women
can
govern
effectively
and
with
compassion,
achieving
results
and
showing
true
leadership.
During
her
time
here
she
worked
to
pass
a
patient's
bill
of
rights,
the
consumer
health
assistance
office,
integrated
the
child
welfare
systems
and
ensured
that
children
in
foster
care,
continue
to
receive
support.
She
worked
to
expand,
full-day
kindergarten
worked
on
increases
to
access
and
coverage
for
prescription
drugs
and
work
to
ensure
that
homeowners
could
engage
in
mediation
before
foreclosure.
F
She
led
the
legislature
through
the
2009
legislative
session,
facing
a
budget
and
economic
crisis
and
ensured
that
nevadans
would
come
back
stronger
and
did
so
with
grace
and
strength
if
it
weren't
enough
that
she
became
the
first
speaker
of
the
nevada
assembly.
Speaker
buckley
also
demonstrates
what
service
and
dedication
to
our
community
looks
like
in
a
professional
setting.
She
graduated
from
the
university
of
arizona
law,
school
summa
laude
and
earned
the
outstanding
female
law
graduate
award
in
1989..
F
F
F
She
has
been
influential
in
bringing
collaborative
programs
to
legal
aid
in
partnership
with
the
unlv
boyd
school
of
law,
where
law
students
teach
legal
classes
to
the
public,
implementing
a
family
justice
project
to
help
victims
of
domestic
violence,
implementing
the
children's
attorney
project
to
help
advocate
for
children
in
the
child
welfare
system
instituting
and
supporting
the
civil
law
and
family
law
self-help
center,
as
well
as
continuing
to
grow.
The
vast
number
of
pro
bono
cases
attorneys
take
on
to
assist
those
in
need.
F
I
specifically
remember
being
a
legislative
extern
in
this
building
in
2009
and
having
the
distinct
pleasure
of
watching
speaker
buckley
serve
in
this
building.
I
remember
her
speaking
and
always
working
with
such
confidence
that
young
women
everywhere
should
also
be
inspired
to
step
up
and
to
lead
with
that
same
confidence.
F
A
E
So,
madam
president,
I
I
want
to
highlight
something
very
instrumental
and
put
their
life
on
the
line
when
they
didn't
have
to.
During
the
early
days
of
the
civil
rights
movement,
miss
viola,
greg
beauzo,
he
traveled
to
alabama
in
march
1965.
E
E
K
The
panic
when
thought.
Oh,
who
should
I
honor
to
go
and
use
a
wonderful
resource
that
we
have
available
to
us
in
the
state
of
nevada,
which
is
the
nevada,
women's
history
project
and
so,
first
of
all,
a
quick
plug
for
the
nevada
women's
history
project,
which
was
founded
by
the
senator
state
senator
from
clark
county
gene
ford.
So
I
have
to
give
a
nod
to
gene
ford
who
made
it
her
business
to
make
sure
that
we
knew
women's
history.
K
K
Her
life
had
been
influenced.
Her
life
would
be
influenced
by
two
significant
experiences:
one
was
the
great
depression
and
how
it
had
a
significant
effect
on
everyone,
but
more
of
an
effect
on
some
people
and
her
long
time,
personal
battle
battle
with
cancer.
When
she
got
back
from
chicago
she
landed
with
her
husband
in
sheelite
nevada.
Now
I've
been
all
over
the
state
of
nevada,
no
idea,
I'm
sure
somebody
here
knows,
but
it
was
in
mineral
county.
K
She
came
back
started.
A
career
worked
first
for
the
catholic
workforce
bureau,
where
she
worked
on
making
sure
that
cuban
refugee
children
had
foster
homes.
She
worked
for
the
nevada
state
hospital
in
the
children's
division.
She
worked
for
the
she
was
the
deputy
director
of
the
economic
opportunity
board
where
she
was
on
the
front
lines
of
lyndon
johnson's
war
on
poverty,
and
she
continued
activism.
K
K
O
O
Ms
frazier
was
offered
a
teaching
principleship
in
genoa,
nevada
in
1906.
The
fact
that
she
couldn't
even
find
genoa
on
a
map
did
not
deter
her.
She
boarded
the
train
from
wisconsin
to
reno,
then
on
to
minden
and
then
the
end
of
the
railway.
That
was
the
end
of
the
railway
line
and
next
was
a
horse-drawn
coach
to
genoa.
O
Her
new
position
was
principal
and
teacher
of
the
upper
grades
in
a
two-teacher
school.
Her
early
nevada
teaching
career
took
her
to
lovelock
a
new
mining
camp
called
seven
troughs
and
mod
next
went
to
beatty
for
a
hundred
dollars
a
month,
but
the
mining
activities
in
beatty
were
slowing
and
in
1912
she
moved
to
goldfield
in
1917.
O
Maude
was
selected
for
this
assignment.
The
area
to
be
covered
was
so
desolate,
hot
and
virtually
inaccessible
and
a
challenge.
But
maude
was
undaunted
by
all
the
skeptics
to
meet
the
requirements
of
her
new
position
of
supervising
75
schools
in
63
school
districts.
And
yes
at
one
time
for
those
that
you
don't
know,
we
had
209
school
districts
with
an
enrollment
of
2824.
O
She
bought
a
rose
roadster
and
set
out
she
traveled
the
deputy
superintendent
circuit
for
six
years
and
in
1927
she
was
the
logical
choice
to
become
the
superintendent
of
the
las
vegas
union
school
district
and
the
principal
of
las
vegas
high
school.
It
was
at
this
point
in
1931,
where
our
families
intersex
intersected.
O
She
hired
my
father
to
come
to
las
vegas,
to
be
a
teacher
from
the
university
of
nevada
reno,
and
he
was
to
serve
as
a
teacher
and
by
the
way
to
do
other
duties
at
las
vegas
high
school.
She
would
become
a
lifelong
friend
of
our
family
and
encouraged
my
mother
to
also
get
involved
with
the
schools
and
communities
she
and
my
dad
would
work
together
for
30
years
in
education,
mod
served
as
the
superintendent
of
clark
county
schools
through
the
growth
period
before
and
after
world
war
ii.
O
O
She
was
instrumental
in
getting
the
appropriations
to
establish
a
branch
of
the
state
university
in
las
vegas.
The
first
building
on
nevada
southern
university
campus
now
called
unlv,
was
named
in
her
honor
on
july
13th
at
the
age
of
81,
maude
was
appointed
the
first
woman
lieutenant
governor
of
the
state
to
replace
rex
bell
who
had
died
in
office.
O
O
So
I'd
like
to
take
just
a
moment
and
honor
my
mother
thalia
dondero,
who
was
also
a
community
leader
and
mother
of
five
children.
She
too
became
a
trailblazer
for
women,
just
as
maude
frazier
did.
She
was
the
first
woman
elected
to
the
clark
county
commission
in
1974
and
her
ascent
through
the
ranks
of
the
commission,
included
being
the
chairwoman
of
the
body
more
than
once.
O
She
was
asked
to
take
notes
upon
her
election
by
her
male
counterparts
and
she
refused
with
good
humor
by
asking
them
to
show
her
how
and
then
she
would
follow.
She
was
a
tireless
advocate
for
parks
and
the
outdoors,
along
with
the
other
county
duties
and
during
her
tenure
as
the
commissioner.
She
oversaw
the
expansion
of
mccarran
airport
flood
control
projects
and
the
water
district
and,
of
course,
the
215
beltway.
O
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
call
her
mom,
but
was
also
fortunate
enough
to
call
ms
frazier
a
friend,
albeit
I
was
young.
These
women
were
both
great
nevada,
pioneers
who
were
devoted
to
education
and
the
betterment
of
our
community
and
state.
Please
help
me
honoring
these
two
women
who
were
leaders
and
trailblazers
for
all
of
us
today.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
today
I
chose
senator
bernice
martin
matthews.
As
the
person
I
wanted
to
honor.
I
was
honored
to
serve
with
her
when
I
was
in
the
assembly.
She
was
in
the
senate,
bernice
martin
matthews
was
born
in
jackson,
mississippi
in
1933
and
then
traveled
to
reno.
She
went
to
the
university
of
nevada
reno
to
earn
her
bachelor's
of
science
in
nursing
and
later
a
master's
degree
in
educational
administration.
M
M
Our
focus
is
academic
growth
for
all,
with
no
exceptions,
no
excuses
and
no
wasted
time,
and
if
you
knew
senator
b,
smart
matthews,
that
was
her
to
a
t.
You
know
something
I
appreciated
about
her
when
I
worked
with
her
is
that
she
was
a
states
woman.
She
was
thoughtful,
she
was
kind
and
she
had
a
great
sense
of
humor.
M
I
also
want
to
note
back
in
the
day
when
she
ran
for
reelection
during
one
of
the
terms
she
and
senator
bill
raggio
had
a
joint
fundraiser,
so
I
don't
know
that
we'll
ever
see
that
again,
so
we
had
the
senate
majority
leader
at
the
time
bill
raggio
and
bernice
martin
matthews,
a
democrat
holding
a
fundraiser
together
in
total,
she
served
18
years
in
the
state
senate.
She
also
served
as
director
at
nursing
for
tmcc
and
she
was
just
an
amazing
person.
M
N
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
in
honor
of
international
women's
day,
I
would
like
to
celebrate
the
life
and
legacy
of
someone
who
spent
her
life
protecting,
encouraging
and
fighting
for
the
rights
of
women,
supreme
court
justice,
ruth
bader
ginsburg,
who
all
of
us
know
and
has
made
a
lasting
impression
on
young
women
across
the
country
and,
I
believe,
across
the
world,
in
the
areas
of
law,
governance
and
jurisprudence.
N
As
a
second
woman
in
history
appointed
to
the
united
states
supreme
court,
she
spent
her
career,
improving
the
lives
of
women
by
battling
against
gender
discrimination
and
protecting
reproductive
rights.
Her
many
well-known
dissents
earned
her
the
nickname,
the
notorious
rbg
which
she
embraced
with
humor
and
grace.
N
Speaking
of
of
her
dissents,
she
once
said
dissent
speak
to
a
future
age.
It's
not
simply
to
say
my
colleagues
are
wrong
and
I
would
do
it
this
way,
but
the
greatest
dissents
do
become
court
opinions
and
gradually
over
time
their
views
become
the
dominant
view.
So
that's
the
dissenter's
hope
that
they
are
ready
not
for
today,
but
for
tomorrow
she
works
tirelessly
for
the
american
people
choosing
to
forgo
retirement.
N
Despite
several
health
problems,
to
which
she
finally
succumbed
last
year,
her
dying
wish
was
that
her
seat
not
be
filled
until
a
new
president
was
installed,
and
while
that
wish
was
not
honored,
we
still
honor
her.
Today,
in
a
field
that
is
dominated
by
men,
she
took
a
seat
at
the
table
and
made
her
voice
our
voice
heard
and
inspired
many
women
to
seek
positions
where
they
could
do
the
same.
N
When
asked
when
there
would
be
enough
women
on
the
supreme
court,
she
once
famously
responded
when
there
are
nine,
but
she
also
said
that
a
wise
old
man
and
a
wise
old
woman
will
reach
the
same
conclusion.
It's
a
sentiment
she
borrowed
from
and
properly
credited
to
a
justice
of
the
minnesota
supreme
court
gene
coyne.
N
When
asked
why
it
is
important
for
women
to
serve
in
government
leadership
and
law,
justice
ginsburg
recognized
that
our
diversity
of
experience
does
not
make
any
group
of
people
more
qualified
to
govern.
It
simply
makes
every
group
of
people
qualified
and
necessary
to
our
government
in
her
personal
life,
rbg
graduated
from
high
school
at
15,
and
went
on
to
graduate
from
cornell
in
1954..
N
She
later
transferred
to
my
alma
mater
columbia
law
school,
where
she
earned
her
juris
doctor
and
graduated
first
in
her
class
early
in
her
law
career.
She
and
martin
had
their
second
child
justice.
Ginsburg
was
both
the
champion
for
equality
and
a
legal
genius
in
her
own
right
working
for
the
aclu
and
various
other
organizations.
She
served
for
13
years
on
the
u.s
court
of
appeals
before
her
nomination
and
confirmation
to
the
u.s
supreme
court
in
1993,
where
she
honorably
served
until
her
death
last
year.
P
P
P
Miss
wells
then
enrolled
at
rust
college,
but
was
expelled
when
she
started
a
dispute
with
the
university
president
in
1878.
The
yellow
fever
epidemic
took
both
of
her
parents
and
her
infant
brother,
which
left
her
to
raise
her
brothers
and
sisters.
She
took
a
job
as
a
teacher
so
that
she
could
keep
the
family
together.
P
Eventually,
she
moved
her
family
to
memphis
tennessee,
where
she
continued
to
work
as
an
educator
in
1884,
ms
wells
filed
a
lawsuit
against
a
train
car
company
in
memphis
for
unfair
treatment.
She
had
been
thrown
off
a
first-class
train
despite
having
a
ticket,
although
she
won
the
case
on
the
local
level.
The
ruling
was
eventually
overturned
in
federal
court
in
1892.
P
P
Unfortunately,
they
did
not
have
a
chance
to
defend
themselves
a
lynch
mob,
took
them
from
their
cells
and
murdered
them
after
the
lynching.
She
continued
her
advocacy
by
turning
her
attention
to
that
violence.
She
wrote
articles
decrying
the
lynching
and
risked
her
own
life
traveling,
the
south,
to
gather
information
on
other
lynchings.
P
P
Together
the
couple
had
four
children
throughout
her
career
career,
miss
wells,
bartnet,
balanced
motherhood
with
her
activism
she
traveled
internationally
shedding
light
on
lynching
to
foreign
audiences
abroad.
She
openly
confronted
white
women
in
the
suffrage
movement
who
ignored
lynching
because
of
her
stance.
She
was
often
ridiculed
and
ostracized
by
women's
suffrage
organizations
in
the
united
states.

Born
june
30th
1909
in
michigan
grandma
married
my
grandfather,
who
lost
his
first
wife
in
los
angeles
when
she
was
55
and
that's
when
our
friendship
began
living
in
detroit
her
first
55
years,
my
grandmother,
loved
golf
and
swimming.
She
was
very
social.
She
went
to
school
and
became
a
dental
hygienist.
Q
Q
Q
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
rise
today
in
honor
of
international
women's
day
when
my
grandmother,
fern
old,
grew
up
just
two
generations
ago
in
rural
iowa.
She
lost
her
mom
at
the
age
of
eight
and
helped
her
dad
with
three
siblings
younger
than
her.
With
an
ice
box
in
a
cave
and
a
bathroom
outside
the
farmhouse,
she
only
had
two
choices:
education
or
secretary
school.
She
chose
to
go
to
secretary
school
and
after
she
graduated
top
of
her
class,
she
became
a
farmer's
wife.
L
For
years
she
raised
a
family,
prepared,
amazing
meals
for
my
grandfather
and
everyone
on
the
farm.
When
she
was
60
years
old,
she
became
a
realtor
and
was
number
one
sales
person
in
the
state
of
iowa
until
she
retired
one
thing
she
was
exceptionally
good
at
was
selling
the
lord
and
property
everywhere.
She
went
look
at
how
far
we've
come
in
the
fight
for
equality.
L
We
have
women
all
over
this
country
who
are
running
corporations
and
businesses.
So
today,
in
honor
of
international
women's
day,
I
am
proud
to
be
a
freshman
woman,
senator
representing
sd5
joining
my
colleagues
majority
leader,
cannizzaro,
senator
ratty,
senator
sivers
cancer.
Senator
scheible
senator
don
darrell
loop,
senator
lang,
senator
neil
senator
harris
and
all
we
represent
nine
of
the
21
seats
in
the
nevada
senate.
L
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
today
is
a
very
special
day
for
all
of
the
members
of
the
legislative
chamber,
as
we
gather
here
and
listen
to
the
stories
of
the
fearless
women
that
came
before
all
of
us.
We
pay
homage
to
the
legacies
that
they
have
all
paved
brick
by
brick
for
the
world
that
we
all
share
together,
a
world
that
is
founded
on
the
principle
that
equality
knows
no
boundaries
and
that
your
sex
or
gender
identity
should
not
dictate
or
predetermine
your
ability
to
accomplish
anything
that
you
desire.
C
C
C
Eventually,
she'd
find
out
that
these
folks
were
attorneys
who
had
made
their
way
into
the
restaurant
across
the
street
from
the
courthouse,
and
it
was
at
that
very
moment
when
she
decided
what
her
future
career
would
turn
out
to
be.
As
she
got
older,
she
received
her
bachelor's
degree
from
the
university
of
nevada
reno
and
eventually
she
decided
to
pursue
a
law
degree
from
william
s.
Boyd
school
of
law
following
her
graduation
from
unlv
canazarro,
ended
up
working
as
a
legal
clerk.
C
She
spent
some
time
here
with
the
legislative
council
bureau
and
soon
moved
to
work
at
a
small
private
practice.
After
working
a
few
years,
she
changed
careers
and
began
moving
her
way
up
through
the
clark
county
district
attorney's
office.
It
was
at
that
moment
in
time
that
cannazaro
realized
the
potential
of
public
service
and
what
it
would
mean
to
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
kids.
That
grew
up
just
like
her.
She
wanted
to
provide
good
education
opportunities
for
kids
from
middle
class
backgrounds
and
pave
the
way
for
their
success.
C
Today,
on
the
occasion
of
international
women's
day,
the
members
of
the
nevada
senate
of
the
81st
legislative
session
honor
the
legacy
of
senator
canozzaro
and
proudly
present
her
with
this
plaque
to
recognize
her
contributions
as
the
first
woman
in
its
over
150
year
history
to
serve
as
senate
majority
leader.
We
are
all
incredibly
grateful
to
bear
witness
to
your
legacy
as
our
senate
majority
leader,
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
all
the
incredible
things
that
you
do
and
you'll
accomplish
for
all
nevadans
during
your
tenure
in
this
chamber
and
beyond.
K
K
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
president,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
other
wonderful
events
that
are
happening
today,
with
it
being
international
women's
day,
I
also
have
a
proclamation
on
a
different
subject.
I
have
been
privileged
to
work
with
the
some,
the
nevada
chapter
of
the
national
hemophilia
foundation,
who
have
been
advocates
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
the
very
best
that
we
can
by
folks
who
have
experienced
a
bleeding
disorder
and
march
is
bleeding
disorder
awareness
month
and
to
honor
that
I
have
asked
for
and
would
like
to
present
a
proclamation.
K
So,
whereas
bleeding
disorders
such
as
hemophilia
and
von
wildebrand,
disease
are
caused
by
deficient
or
absent,
specialized
proteins
that
circulate
in
the
blood
to
control
bleeding
and
are
typically
inherited
genetically
and
whereas
the
community
of
individuals
with
bleeding
disorders,
includes
more
than
three
million
americans
living
with
hemo,
hemophilia,
vwd
and
other
rare
bleeding
disorders,
and
whereas,
with
a
vision
of
a
world
without
inheritable
blood
disorders,
the
national
hemophilia
foundation
created
the
access
to
care.
Today.
K
Achieving
cures
cures
tomorrow,
initiative
to
maintain
and
achieve
where
lacking
access
to
care
for
people
with
bleeding
disorders,
where
access
to
care
is
defined
as
having
access
