Whether or not passage of Question 2 will lead to more taxes on gold, silver and other minerals remains to be seen.

The Vacca children, ages 11, 14, 15 and 19, each deliver a message in the video describing their father, how they feel about the young shooter and what their dad would want.
According to Marc Lamber and James Goodnow, injury and wrongful death lawyers at Fennemore Craig, P.C., this incident has spawned a broader national discussion about gun safety and automatic weapons in the hands of children.
"Although we feel this discourse is important, and we intend to participate, Charlie's loved ones don't want it to overshadow the impact this tragedy has had on everyone involved. On behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time," said Goodnow.
"Now, we intend to work cooperatively with authorities and investigative agencies to determine how this could have happened and more importantly, how it could have been prevented" added Lamber.

John Balitis comments on employer's diversion to tips to charities
September 06, 2014
I work in the restaurant/bar industry. Once a month, my boss picks a day, and it's usually a Friday or Saturday, and tells us that all of our tips for that day will be donated to charity. We don't mind being charitable, but we aren't told ahead of time and none of us has ever been asked if this is OK. We rely on tips for gas, groceries, things our children need, etc. Even if it's once a month, can they legally force us to do this?

I am a 54-year-old male exempt employee who has worked for the same private company for 15 years. A female employee, who is 25 years old with five years in the company, was promoted from a position below mine to one above mine. This position was not posted nor was anyone else in the department made aware of the opening. This person has been promoted four times. I have made it known that I want to advance in the company and it has been met with silence, although my reviews have been consistently positive. Am I the victim of age discrimination?

May 11, 2013
What kind of information is a former employer allowed to reveal to a prospective employer? After an interview process with a potential employer, the company practically guaranteed me getting hired. But later, the HR person called and told me that they were not going to hire me and indicated the decision was made after contacting my previous employer — with whom I had personal differences that led to my departure. I have not committed any illegal act and my performance reviews have been positive. Can my former bosses ruin my chances of getting hired by personally criticizing me to other companies?

John Mowbray Recognized for Contributions to Las Vegas' Legal History
January 07, 2011
John Mowbray, managing partner of Fennemore Craig's Las Vegas office, recently was an honored guest at an event highlighting the city'slegal history and the Mob Museum- which is under construction- and to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Kefauver hearings. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman recognized John and his contributions at the event.
The Kefauver Hearings, 14 in all, were held by a United States Senate committee throughout the country in an effort to expose organized crime. The seventh hearing was held in the Las Vegas Post Office and Federal Court building on Nov. 15, 1950. The building now is being renovated for The Mob Museum, which will explain the mafia's history in Las Vegas and display mafia-related historically significant memorabilia and artifacts.
John, a Las Vegas native and lawyer for nearly 40 years, is on the board of The Mob Museum and has helped with its development. The Mowbray family's involvement in the community and its legal history goes back decades and includes John's father, the Hon. John. C. Mowbray, who served as a Nevada Supreme Court justice for more than a quarter of a century.
John has been involved in significant legal cases, including litigation resulting from the MGM Grand fire in 1980, which led to changes in fire codes requiring the use of sprinklers in commercial buildings. He served as chairman of the Let Freedom Ring Executive Committee, which spearheaded a project to put a full-scale replica of the Liberty Bell in the plaza at Fourth Street and Lewis Avenue, anchoring Las Vegas' legal history corridor.
