We can do this. And we need to do this. So lets be about actually making a law. The presiding officer without objection. A senator mr. President , thank you. I rise today to talk a little bit about whats happening in nevada. Last week i had the opportunity to be home, and i went to one of our mobile food banks in East Las Vegas just before thanksgiving.

In the morning to a line of cars waiting at the site. And that line sometimes gets so long, police have to direct traffic around it. Literally, they lined up at 3 00 a. M. The food pantry doesnt even open until 7 00 or 8 00 in the morning, but they remember there at 3 but they were there at 3 00 a. M. Around the block in their cars to stay safe from the covid19 pandemic. But there were over 350 of them throughout that morning, and that is not unusual with whats happening in nevada right now.
