National media claims bribery dealing with Marijuana Distribution License's. With only one State Wide Paper of Record and being owned by Sheldon Adelson,going to be some time before the real story emerges.

I called her office to inquire why she was there. Unfortunately, the person I spoke with said she had only been working there for a couple of weeks and didn't know how to address my question. I intend to keep calling until I'm satisfied with an answer.
