Joe Crowley: “Bobzien one of the strongest defenders of our schools and universities”

Negative “robo” calls are the sign of a campaign grasping at straws as election day looms near, and it appears my challenger for Nevada Assembly, Monte Johnson, has chosen to resort to this sad tactic.

At a little after 2 am on Monday March 1st, the Nevada legislature completed a special session to get our state’s budget back into balance in light of a newly projected shortfall of more than $800 million, a figure that represented a staggering 22% decline in state revenue.
