The Las Vegas Sun Editorial staff came out firmly in favor of proposals by Commissioner Giunchigliani on construction safety, they write…
“Giunchigliani is correct in noting that Nevada OSHA, which has admitted to being understaffed, needs help. Another way the county can provide that help, she says, is for construction companies to be better scrutinized before work even begins.Giunchigliani has obviously put some thought into these proposals, and we hope they are well received by the rest of the County Commission.”

“’What people have to remember is that you endanger your peers and co-workers,’ she said. ‘Even if you're choosing to be stupid, it's not just you.’”

The campaign was within the boundaries of Charleston and Olive and Sandhill and Palm. Many residents took the opportunity to get rid of unwanted items; Joe Knoblock from Republic Services said the clean-up went really well and his workers, who were organized, quick and courteous, finished about 1:00 p.m. They picked up 23 tons more trash from the area than normal. About 12 volunteers came out to help including members of 10,000 Kids; Clark County Code Enforcement; and Graffiti Abatement also assisted with the clean-up and by inspecting the exterior of houses for compliance issues. If you are interested in a project in your neighborhood and live within Commission District E boundaries, contact Chris Giunchigliani through this website or at her Clark County Commission email address chrisg@co.clark.nv.us.
