From Steve Miller:
Put Steve Wynn in his place. Support Nevada Assemblyman Bob Beers.
At the present time in Nevada history, there is only one elected official with the guts to stand up to the tyrannical wishes of Steve Wynn.
Assemblyman Bob Beers (not Senator Bob Beers) has asked his colleagues to uphold the Nevada law that allows casino employees to keep their tips. Wynn thumbs his nose at the law and requires his dealers to share their tips with his executives.
According to the July 15, 2008, Nevada Observer (Archive copy), "Legal complaints about the Wynn tip sharing program were funneled to the Labor Commission, which said there was no violation of current statutes. Appealing that ruling to state court has resulted in the same outcome. The dealers and their union have appealed to friendly legislators who are stonewalled by their leadership and are unable to get legislation in the works.
According to Assemblyman Bob Beers, “The law, as written, is quite clear. Taking is taking. And because the company has benefited both directly and indirectly, the law has been broken, not simply bent.” The dealers and union have a current case pending in federal court at this time. Following their losses within the Labor Commission and the state courts, and a lack of support from the legislature, the dealers attempted to bring an initiative petition to the public in support of their grievance.
Secretary of State Ross Miller said the petition did not meet state election law standards, in particular the “single subject” law. Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto is representing Miller in the federal action. The union and dealers have filed their briefs with the federal court as has Masto and Miller. Among those representing the dealers in their fight, practically from day one is former district judge Don Chairez, currently running for Supreme Court."
Now, Wynn had directed his wrath at Assemblyman Beers by unleashing his pit bulls George Harris and Chuck Muth to try to destroy Beers' reelection campaign.
In the meantime, Wynn cowers in his fiefdom, not available for comment. - SM
