Attorney Gen. Del Papa files for governor

"I have decided to run because I recognize that more than anything, Nevada needs change, and needs an effective leader to bring it about," the incumbent State Attorney General and former Nevada Secretary of Sttate said.

"Our schools are in dire need of support. Our environment is harmed by light pollution and dumping. The big gaming industry relishes in loopholes. Basic safetystandards and worker's rights are ignored. The Silver State needs a strong, experienced leader who can pass effective, and enforceable legislation. In my tweleve years as Attorney General for our state, and four years as Nevada Secretary of State, I believe I have the experience neccessary for this monumental task.

"Once I'm elected governor, I will continue fighting statewide corruption and stagnation, and work with our legislature in passing laws that are effective, effecient, and enforceable.

"I offer Nevadans a true choice for a change."

The Case for Closing Loopholes

"Seen from behind, the palatial replicas and resorts are a kind of Potemkin village, screening from view an inner squalor of local politics where wealth and power are in the hands of only a few, a parody of rich and poor.

"Compared to what it takes, the ruling industry gives back crumbs. Its rule is purchased, not won, though no less complete for the usurpation. It evades all but a minor fraction of taxes, recompense that might create public assets in Nevada to match the mountains of private profit.

" Instead, as from the beginning, it plunders the city, state and nation, poisoning air, disfiguring land, stealing water, ransoming the future for ravenous gain seized by fix and favor. It masks only thinly its habitual racism and sexism. If its prosperity is legend, many of its jobs are menial, and its coveted payroll is mocked by enormous inequity, the gap between millions taken by owners and the few thousand in shiftwork subsistence paid most workers."

Del Papa's Biography

Nevada has been the fastest-growing state in the nation over the past decade. The gambling industry has facilitated tax increases on every other aspect of society, while keeping the gross gaming tax frozen at 1987 levels. Casinos get back fully a third of that levy in the form of corporate welfare subsidies.

A 1999 study by Nevada's current Republican administration shows that creation of low-wage gaming jobs creates much more long term demand for government services than other types of employment.

As a result of organized gambling's refusal to pay its fair share, Nevada state and local governments face near-term shortfalls in the billions of dollars.

Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa has fought for Nevada and it's laws for the past sixteen years, and won't stop now. Del Papa pledges to close tax loopholes and clamp down on corruption and lobbying by the big gaming industry.
