Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s First District released the following statement today on the passing of former Nevada Assembly Speaker Joe Dini:

“Nevada has lost a great leader with the passing of Joe Dini. Joe will long be remembered as the lion of the Nevada legislature; master of the art of statecraft as well as statesmanship.  He was the best of what Nevada has to offer and will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and serving with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.”
