Titus Supports Effort to Keep 1,400 Teachers Employed and Help Nevada’s Most Vulnerable
"With Nevada facing significant budget shortfalls, these funds, which are only for teachers and Medicaid, will help fill the gaps, keeping 1,400 teachers in the classroom and supporting the state’s most vulnerable citizens.  With the state having already accounted for this Medicaid money in its budget, failure to secure these funds would have dealt a serious blow to Nevada resulting in cuts to vital services and teacher layoffs"

“With unemployment in Nevada at a record high, it is critical that we provide some relief by extending unemployment benefits for those who are struggling to find work.  More importantly, we must create an environment that will foster economic growth and allow our small businesses to prosper and create jobs.  Through tax credits and greater access to credit, this bill will help Nevada’s small businesses get back on their feet and again become engines of economic growth.”

Titus: In Light of Anthem Blue Cross Errors, Highest Level of Oversight Needed for Insurance Premium Increases
"No one should have to choose between paying for health insurance or putting food on the table; but as premiums rise, more people may be forced to make such a choice.  That is why I urge you to do everything in your power to hold insurance companies accountable for their rate increases and to reexamine, with the highest level of oversight possible, proposed health insurance rate increases and the assumptions on which those increases are based."
