A Very Dangerous Nevada Law, Part 2

Rana Goodman
In the September issue I told you about Guardian Commissioner Jon Norheim who was appointed by Judge Hoskins 10 years ago. To and to my knowledge no commissioner has ever been considered to replace him.

I find it inconceivable to believe that no one in our justice system has questioned the mountain of allegations of impropriety and misappropriation of funds by guardians appointed over and over again by this man. More to the point, I find it fascinating that one guardian, Jared Shafer, the one receiving the largest quantity of appointments, thus revenue has never come into the line of fire of our district attorney.

You might ask why that caught my attention; well, Patience Bristol, another guardian,  is currently sitting in prison right now after making some type of plea deal with our DA. It must have been one hell of a deal because he struck 20 counts down to 1 and yet, although she learned all she knows about guardianship from Jared Shafer, he has not been charged with a thing. hmmmmmmm! So here are my questions.

Many things have been published by my colleague, Steve Miller over the last couple of years about Jared Shafer and Commissioner Norheim's behavior, so let us ask;

WHY hasn't the DA filed any charges against Shafer?

WHY does the Review Journal refuse to cover any type of story on these senior exploitations?

WHY don't our assemblymen and women do something about modification of this outrageous law?

WHAT gives these scumbags so much power, please don't tell me the DA and all these power people fear them?

This
inquiring mind wants to know, how about you?

Many people go to the warm states when they retire and their children remain in their home states. The law has got to provide for those children to be able to take care of their parents.

It shouldn't be dangerous to retire. It's not just Nevada, it's everywhere. I think it's time to get in our beat-up Airstreams and hit the road.

I want to know exactly the same! How can this persist when it is obvious our seniors continue to be exploited??

Why aren't more people outraged to the point of actually doing something; is it just because it hasn't happened to them yet?

That would be a very sad thought indeed.
