Sports Handle: Nevada Representative Dina Titus to Congress: No Need to Reinvent Wheel on Sports Betting

Nevada Representative Dina Titus (NV-1) has been on record many times reiterating her distaste for a federal framework for sports betting.

With nearly 70 years of experience under its belt, Nevada doesn’t need any (or want) any input from, well, novices.

LV Sun: Bold vision needed to tackle health care in America
Medicare for All is a bold idea, but Congress must be bold to solve our nation’s affordable health care crisis.

Simply too much is at stake for Nevadans.
