Weekend Roundup

The coroner's jury found the Henderson police were justified in shooting and killing the ice cream truck-driving mother of two. (Review-Journal)

Blue Cross Blue Shield has announced it plans to alert all members who were treated at Endoscopy that they may have been affected by Hep-C and HIV. Apparently, they're not satisfied with the Nevada Medical Board's assurances that no needles were shared before 2004. [No faith in the medical board? I wonder why? They did a great job monitoring the Endoscopy practices before now, right?] (Review-Journal) Meanwhile, critics are citing contradictory testimony as evidence the coroner's jury was wrong (Review-Journal)

The casino industry has asked the Nevada Supremes to hurry up and decide on their appeal to stop the teacher's petition to raise a gaming tax (Las Vegas Sun) [we wouldn't want Nevada citizens to be able to decide those issues for themselves, would we?]

In what might be listed under overkill, a Fallon man was charged with 265 counts of child pornography. (Nevada Appeal) [uh . . . enjoy life in prison, guy]

And Mainor Eglet Cottle grabbed the spotlight again, with Robert Cottle filing a lawsuit alleging that lenders, agents and mortgage brokers are responsible for the Vegas mortgage foreclosure crisis because they breached their "fiduciary duty to explain all borrowing and buying options, and to give home buyers professional recommendations on their best interests."
