Dear Neighbor,

          My name is Eric Morelli and I want to be your next State Assemblyman. Nevada is facing budget shortfalls as never seen before. I am a life long resident to Las Vegas. I cannot remember a time when the Legislators of Nevada have done such a terrible job in deciding the budget.

          There is a minority who try to get the job done. However, the majority assembly want to raise our taxes to cover the mistakes of their own doing. Thus punishing the people they represent.

          When called upon to balance the budget, the Majority cried out that it could wait until the next regular session.

           I do not think that is acceptable behavior for legislators. The government is supposed to protect its people. During a physical or a financial threat like the one we are in now, we should expect our government to live and function with in its own means.                       

We as citizens do this every day. When times get a little tight we cut back here and there to put food on the table for our family. We cut back on some of the things we do not need, but may want, because we have to. That is how we people get by every day.

 We must expect the government to do the same. We must hold the government accountable for its actions. What we need is someone looking out for the people. I am that person. I will be the one to hold the government accountable. I will see to it that any surplus in the budget is not spent for the sake of spending it.

My name is Eric Morelli and I want to be your next Assemblyman.
