"Nevada Blows Chance to Regulate #Narconon Our man in Las Vegas, Nathan Baca, updates us on that state’s opportunity to introduce some oversight of Scientology’s drug rehab facility there… SB501, the bill pushed by Nevada State Health employees to allow them to inspect Narconon Caliente, failed to pass the legislature before the mandated 120-day session. This was due to poor bill scheduling on the part of State Senate Finance Chair Debbie Smith ([email protected]), who let the bill languish in her committee for weeks, and State Senate Majority Leader Mo Denis ([email protected]), who failed to get the bill on the Senate Floor until just a few hours left on the last day of session. Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick ([email protected]) didn’t receive the bill until 30 minutes before the midnight deadline this Monday. She tried a last-ditch attempt to move the bill to committee as required, but ran out of time. Therefore, Narconon Caliente will continue to run un-licensed in Nevada for another 2 years. There was no organized opposition to the bill. Given the weakness of the state’s legislative system, it simply wasn’t seen as a priority. Instead, there was State Senate debate on whether we should have a state dog." tonyortega.org/2013/06/06/dianetics-has-no-patience-for-esp-or-telepathy-thats-pseudoscience/
