I don't know Mayor Hafen, but I do know that "Hafen" is an old pioneer name in Southern Nevada and Southern Utah. IOW, he's likely related to dozens if not hundreds of people in the valley. I suspect that several of those "relatives" in the article are people with whom he has had little to not contact with. None of those people can work for Henderson while he's in office? That hardly seems fair. Further, what's he supposed to do about it? By law he can't prevent it by making hiring decisions and by law he can't "fix" it by firing them.
"Six relatives of Henderson Mayor Andy Hafen are on the city payroll in full-time jobs, including his son, brother-in-law and two nephews." Yeah, totally distant relatives. Nothing to see here….
Good for Craig Drummond!
That May-Pac fight sucked. I want a refund and I only saw it on PPV! What a snore fest.
I'm curious – how exactly did you expect Mayweather to fight?
That was the prototypical Mayweather fight, it's his style and how all of them go for him, Dan Wetzel of Yahoo wrote a solid write up of that if you are interested http://sports.yahoo.com/news/boring–floyd-mayweather-s-clinical-win-over-manny-pacquiao-shows-gulf-in-class-063152600-boxing.html maybe it would have been different with the Pacquiao of 5 years ago, maybe not. It's really too bad there was no way you could have watched the fight for free.
Friends and family nepotism in government is unacceptable. Can they do something about it?
I thought it was illegal in Nevada NOT to hire friends and family in government.
@11:24 – Add "cronies" to that list and you're correct.
