From the Review Journal:
In another development, two lawmakers have requested a bill to place the agency under the control of Gov. Jim Gibbons rather than the Nevada Commission on Nuclear Projects, a panel of part-time appointees.
The bill was requested by Sens. Barbara Cegavske and Bob Beers, both Republicans from Las Vegas, after the disclosure of the pay increases at the Legislature’s Interim Finance Committee.
“It was very frustrating not to have the ability just to let someone go under the circumstances,” Cegavske said. “My premise is the office should be under the control of the governor. Then it never would have happened.”
