Nevada Legislature Open Poll

The Legislature is making it easy for the public to share its opinion on pending legislation with the Opinion Poll.
The Opinion Poll portion of this site contains constituent opinions for the 76th (2011) Session of the Nevada Legislature. Feel free to view constituent opinions by clicking on the links above.
Throughout a legislative session, legislators review these opinions to gain perspective on how constituents in their districts feel about legislation. Constituent names, addresses and other personal information are NOT made public, but are available to legislators so that they will know who is submitting the comment and are able to contact the constituent if they so desire. Only opinion totals and comments are made publicly available on this site.

Select the bill number (use Nelis or the Subject Index to identify bills), vote For or Against, leave a comment if you like and enter your constituent information.

Workshops for Self-represented Litigants

From the Nevada Appeal:
Nevada Legal Services continues its informative series of free workshops and assistance from 1-3 p.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday in the auditorium. The first session provides help for those litigants who are representing themselves and need clarification filling out legal forms. The later workshop addresses foreclosures, a topic affecting many Nevadans. The first series was very well attended, so registration is necessary. Call 775-284-3491 ext. 230 to secure both a space and the handout materials.
Note this announcement was in the 2/20/11 edition of the Appeal, so those interested should call Nevada Legal Services to confirm the next scheduled workshop.
