KSHEPARD Nevada


 * Political Party** - Democrat

[|**Shelley Berkley's homepage**]
 * Congress Person**- I mostly agree with Shelley Berkley. I agree with her because she states that we need to give money to the cops so they can increase there knowledge about safety. The money will help them get better technology and help keep our towns a safer place.

__Buisness and Economy-__ Buisness and economy are important to me beacuse Nevada is always growing and becasue of this the enviroment is changing. The state needs to increase public transportation, which will decrease the need of driving so many cars.
 * 3 most important issues**

__Enviroment__- Enviroment is one of the biggest issue we face today. Nevada is home of the one and only Las Vegas, and i'm sure everyone knows Las Vegas is a huge city. In order to have a city you have to do what, cut down trees and homes to many animals. I bielve certain places should be reserved for enviromently use only, like parks.

__Energy__- Energy is also one of the biggest issuea in the US. Las Vegas has so many attractions that are ran on electricty which is a form of energy. The parks left for enviromental use only should have wind turbines or some type of device to decrease the use of energy in not only Nevada but many other states as well.

My group and I have decided enviroment is a main problem. Our bill was designed to elimanate the use of plastic bags. Unfortunatley plastic bags are distrubuted in many grocery stores in the U.S. Our bill was written to replace those plastic bags with paper bags which are biodagradeable. This will improve the enviromental conditions, and we will begin to see the cleaner and healthier world we once had. HB 15
