Criminal Charges Probable in Hughes Will Case
Nevada Attorney General Robert List said criminal charges would probably be filed over the so called Mormon Will of Howard Hughes, with potential charges not disclosed. An envelope with the will reportedly bore a Melvin Dummar thumbprint, and Dummar, a Utah gas station attendant, stood to inherit one sixteenth of Hughes’s about 2.5 billion estate.

EMRB rehearing delays appeal in Nevada school wage case
The EMRB issued an oral ruling on Nov 30 and stayed the decision awaiting a formal written opinion. Attorney Frank Schreck planned to appeal in District Court once the written decision arrived, while EMRB Chairman Dorothy Eisenberg and member Chris Karamanos signed the ruling. Vice Chairman John Gojack dissented. The dispute centers on two take it or leave it wage offers from the school district to teachers and whether bargaining was effectively blocked.

Ruling Finds Bad Faith Bargaining By Association Over MPass
The EMRB ruling notes the district bargained fairly with 14 sessions plus mediation and factfinding. It rejects the claim that a firm stance alone proves refusal to bargain in good faith, urging a total review of collective bargaining. The association’s shifting demands from 12 to 6.2 percent and the district’s unwavering 1.5 percent offer through September are discussed. The decision says no rule requires matching offers from both sides.
