Jimbo Eruptions

while her soon-to-be-ex-husband continues to make a fool out of himself and a mess out of Nevada, Dawn Gibbons soldiers on with her pet causes:

“A lot of women in these circumstances would fade into the background, but that's never been Dawn's style,” said Leslie. “No negative attitude at all. She's doing what she perceives to be her job as a community leader.”

Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto also praised her continuing work on causes including the methamphetamine task force, which Masto heads.

“She's so quietly effective that people don't realize how much she contributes to addressing the meth abuse in this state,” she said. “She's so effective and committed to the issues and finding solutions it's been a pleasure working with her.”

The anti-meth program developed in Nevada by that task force, Gibbons said, is now going national.

“We raised a lot of money for the Crystal Darkness anti-meth campaign,” she said. “It's being syndicated nationally now.”
