Nevada senior services at risk to balance budget

  

Save Services for Seniors!
 
Nevada’s Special Legislative Session may slash senior services across the state and force people into nursing homes if they cannot get help to stay in their homes.  We all know “there's no place like home.”
 
There is a proposal to sell the Tobacco Settlement. The Tobacco Settlement funds the backbone of services for older adults across Nevada.  If they are sold help cover the deficit, Nevada could lose over a MILLION DOLLARS a year in Federal funds and services that help seniors stay in their homes will be cut.
 
You Can Help
Tell Governor Gibbons and your Legislators NOT to sell the Tobacco Funds. Call immediately – the Special Session begins Friday June 27. Selling our Tobacco Funds is a BAD IDEA.
 Phone:
1-800-992-0973 can connect you to Governor Gibbons and to your State Legislators.

Tell Governor Gibbons, your State Senator, and your Assemblyman NOT to sell the Tobacco Funds. SAVE SENIOR SERVICES because “there's no place like home.”
