State of Mourning

Former 2-term Nevada Governor, UNLV President & Clark County School Superintendent Kenny Guinn died Thursday at 73... A son of an illiterate farmworker who achieved a PhD in Education and had the rare courage to push for policies that were logical, responsible and often at odds with partisan extremes.

The coroner confirmed Guinn fell off the roof of his Las Vegas home.

Former Nevada Governor Bob Miller summarized: "He was a person who devoted his entire life to making Nevada a better place. He put the interests of the state over partisanship in everything he did."
