Elko

I can't speak highly enough about that.

my experience with you in Elko, Nevada, and just seeing the way you managed to hypnotize a room of like a hundred people all carrying like 500 years of colonial trauma in their bodies and just like get us to like zero in on our love for ourselves and our breath and our hearts and using all our own cultural stories to do that.

I was just so blown away and appreciative of your gifts and your ability to not just heal through plants, but heal through words, to heal through songs, to heal through community and teachings.

I remember someone saying, true wealth is what you know.

But.

Later that fall, a guy named Corky Prenty, Diamond Day Rodeos in Elko, Nevada, had a rodeo, and so I went and did it for him.

I don't remember what it paid.

And late October, November, we went to the Western Fairs Convention in Pocatello.

Everything was grass or re-added leather then.

And I thought it was real great.

At the age of five or six, um, My dad took my mom to Elko, Nevada to watch Casey Tibbs ride a bucking horse.

He was the legend at the time, right? Oh, yeah.

We have three offices up in Reno, Sparks, Carson.

And then we have offices in Winnemucca, Elko, Ely.

So we get around to all of Nevada and help all the businesses in Nevada.

And so all a business has to do is come in and say, hey, i'm looking for x y and z type of worker and we will hook them up with that and and find that match for them but the really great thing we do is let's say a business comes in and they're a mom-and-pop small business and they may have 10 or 15 employees and they have a really really great employee And they want that employee to get some training so that they can move up.

A friend convinced them that John was gone and wouldn't be returning, so the crowd dispersed.

John collected Vicky in Salt Lake City, and they drove through the night to Elko, Nevada, where they planned to get married.

But when they arrived at the courthouse, Vicky realized she'd left her ID behind in Salt Lake City, and they had to drive all the way back.

On September 9th, 1963, John and Vicki were finally married before a justice of the peace in Elko.

And they subsequently had their marriage sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.

Before going back to Marion, John arranged for a lawyer to help get those kidnapping accusations and the associated arrest warrant withdrawn.

There were rules and regulations we had to follow and I had to enforce those.

But the most important part is during our recent June primary, I drove from Reno, Nevada to Elko, Nevada, all northern Nevada.

And I stopped at every polling location, stopped in Elko, Nevada, which is very conservative mining town.

And I went into the poll and there was a poll worker.

And I said, thank you for being a poll worker.

I just call it good, healthy competition.

You have to remember that So Salem, Indiana could be competing against, let me think of a really good example here, Elko, Nevada.

And the reason why I bring up Elko is because the state of Nevada has such low taxation overall that when you compare Salem, Indiana to Elko, Nevada, Elko is going to win 10 times out of 10 on the taxation side of things.

the way that Indiana and Salem in particular can offset, you know, the Delta is at the local level, at least at the state level, you've got jobs tax credits and investment tax credits, but the local level, you can help to waive or abate some of their taxation to get you to a closer level so that you're competitive with a potential Elko, Nevada.

Those are the traditional tools.

I think also, and I'm going to go back to the site readiness, I think one of the number one tools that local government has in its arsenal that local government doesn't use as frequently as you would think, land control.

It can go either way.

And Donald Trump, even though he's not on the ballot, still plays an important role in this race, and I guarantee you this, when Lo- when Trump comes to l- uh, Nevada, I think he's gonna go to Elko or one of the rural areas, uh, Joe Lombardo's gonna do anything he can to find-

He'll have a cold that day
