Rep. Shelly Berkley-Only Looking Out For Herself, Her Family and Friends

THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS-

Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Rep. Shelley Berkley, (NV) appears to have many problems. It looks like she has a conflict of interest when it come to her supporting legislation that does indeed benefit her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner. The Times published a very informative report. The piece entitled: "A Congresswoman's Cause Is Often Her Husbands Gain." lays out the clear possibility of her using her juice in Washington and assisting her husbands lucrative kidney care medical practice here in Las Vegas. I would think that this reporting by the Times gives her opponent Rep. Dean Heller a leg up on the U. S. Senate seat.

The New York Times showed Berkley's work relating to Nevada's kidney care specialists. Her husband is what else - - a nephrologist, who received a contract at UMC (University Medical Center) in amount of $738,000.00. And, guess what? From all reports, his was the only bid submitted and accepted. Fix in? Who knows?

It should be mention also that Berkley back in 1996 wrote some memos to her old employer, Las Vegas SANDS boss Sheldon Adelson to do some political favors for two Clark County Commissioners. She also told her old boss to contribute to judicial candidates so that future favorable treatment could be realized.

With conduct like this in Berkley's background it makes one ponder how she can represent the people of Nevada honorably and sufficiently when she is so concerned about doing favors for her husband and her financial well-being and having friends and employers doling out favors for her friends holding public office and even pressuring them to contribute to the judiciary so as to ensure future favors from those judges, etc.,---

Folks, I submit that her actions is not government working for the people of the state of Nevada. Instead it looks like government working for the needs of Berkley, her husband and his very lucrative medical practice (which clearly would be of benefit to her well-being) and for benefits to her friends and colleagues that hold public office. Maybe twelve years in office is enough for people like Berkley. She looks like a poster child for term limits on lawmakers. I personally would not vote for a lawmaker that conducts themselves in a manner that uses the position of their office to benefit themselves and friends. No wonder our country is in the shape it is in. Many lawmakers only tend to look out for themselves and their families and friends.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
