The community gave a Standing Ovation to Brian Langstaff yesterday and thats something i will never forget. Robert francis is an excellent appointment and can the minister confirm that he will be able to meet others in this house and can he also, and he knows i have raised this with him. Can he guarantee that, looking at the composition of the authority Going Forward that that will include representatives of the infected and affected, and that they will have the rightful representation on that board . Can i welcome the comments in relation to hepatitis b. This has always been one of the issues of contention, so can i ask the minister to consider some people with hepatitis b have been missing out on the existing schemes, and can he have a look for me to find a way that those with hepatitis b get access to the existing schemes . I know the Scottish Infected Blood Forum has asked that question. Can i alsojust forum has asked that question. Can i also just clarify in terms of Interim Payme
Not only is this race bringing more than 40thousand runners from across the globe to las vegas. But this is one of the only times, besides new years, that we see parts of the strip shut down for an event. So for commuters. Keep in mind theres a lot of road closures. One of the bigger ones that might impact you is las vegas boulevard from russel road to ogden. Other downtown closures include, 4th, 6th and 7th street. Bonnevil avenues. Some temporary inconveniences that allow this size of an event to go on. And it kicked off in a big way with snoop dogg headlining a performance. One runner says he came in from canada says and has been training all year for this night run. colin john, runner just kind of antsy during the day, just like, what to do, what to do. Just the vibe, the amount of people, the dressing up, just a lot of good energy, snoop was great and i caught most of the the streets for the 50th time this year. Making it one of the longest running marathons in the us. Brittany Ed
The man did die on scene. The driver, a woman in her 50s, didnt sustain any major injuries. Nhp adds they dont expect impairment at all from the driver. She was the only one in the vehicle. Im told after she struck the victim, she lost control of the van, crossed several lanes of traffic and crashed into the barrier. As for the male victim nhp is still looking into why he was on the interstate in the first place. trooper angie wolff, nevada Highway Patrol its unfort pedestrian on the roadway knows why theyre on the roadway, if its impairment, if its carelessness, not using a crosswalk. Being out on the highway, i dont know how to explain that. And no charges are expected for her at this time. She is cooperating with investigators. Theres no word yet as to whether the victim was impaired at all investigators say, theyll have to wait and see what the toxicology report says from the coroner. I15 from craig to cheyenne were shut down, they are now back open. Reporting live, Brittany Edney,

Secondly and critically there are all sorts of other fees that are going to be assessed. For example, currently a lot of broadband providers that had not been classified as Telecom Providers paid a lower rate for the equipment that they attach to the utility poles known as pole attachments. They paid a rate under section 224d. Now because theyre all Telecom Providers they will have to pie a much higher rate under section 224e and smaller providers in particular will have to pay 150 to 200 Million Dollars a year just for those higher pole attachment rates. Then you add on top of that the higher state and local property taxes that a lot of these companies will have to pay because theyre now Telecom Providers.
