Las Vegas Review-Journal

By Hubble Smith - June 23, 2010

Underwater and delinquent Nevada homeowners could see financial relief from the government's so-called "hardest-hit fund" by mid-August, a state housing division official said Wednesday.

The target launch date for nearly $103 million coming to Nevada was delayed by three weeks because contracts with the U.S. Treasury were not in place by June 1 as originally anticipated, said Lon DeWeese, chief financial officer of the Nevada Housing Division.

Las Vegas Review-Journal

By Steve Tetreault - May 6, 2010

At an event today in the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Dina Titus and other members of a new Seniors Task Force worked to remind elderly voters that it is the Democrats who are passing health care reform and other bills deemed senior-friendly.

The 30-member group, headed by Reps. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and Doris Matsui, D-Calif., put Democrats squarely on record in favor of senior citizens' rights to economic security, quality health care, protections from scams and "safe and livable communities"

New York Bomb Attempt Raises Awareness in Las Vegas

KLAS Channel 8

May 3, 2008

Just like New York City, Las Vegas is one of the world's top tourist destinations. Nearly 40 million people visit Las Vegas each year. That is why authorities must be prepared for an attack like the one that almost happened in New York's Times Square, where a suspect tried to set off a car bomb. The SUV was packed with gasoline, propane and fertilizer. If the attempt succeeded, it would have caused numerous casualties in one of the country's busiest areas.

The bombing attempt in New York has Nevada officials concerned, including U.S. Rep. Dina Titus. "It's a wake-up call and a reminder to us that when we're in tourist areas, like Las Vegas with soft targets, that we need to be informed," she said. "We need to be ready. We need to have the resources to respond."

Waking up the Democrats

Las Vegas Weekly

By Ken Miller - April 21, 2010

It doesn’t have the membership of the Tea Party. it doesn’t have the funding. It doesn’t have the catchy slogans, the sound bites, the easily digested gobs of O’Reilly, Beck and Hannity.

At first glance, all that might appear to be going for the Coffee Party is that it has a catchy name. But this nonprofit organization, started by filmmaker Annabel Park earlier this year, cannot endorse any candidates, and its overall impact on politics is certainly iffy. As a force that’s going to get headlines and command attention, this particular party appears a bit … decaffeinated.

Not everyone agrees with that sentiment. Congresswoman Dina Titus recently took time out from her schedule to spend 30 minutes talking to about two dozen attendees at a “Coffee With Congress” get-together at the Las Vegas home of Liza Powell—and some of them weren’t even from her district. It was a subdued affair, more akin to a Sunday social than a political movement—a coffee pot on a table in the back yard, along with bottled water and soft drinks, and folding chairs set up at the edge of a pool. Titus discussed her recent victory with health-care reform, anger and frustration were expressed from the gallery over the utter absence of bipartisanship, and Titus was blunt about executives of bailed-out companies getting million-dollar bonuses: “They should be in jail.”

Titus’ office morphs into housing counseling center
Las Vegas Sun

By Lisa Mascaro - April 18, 2010

Washington — William Palacios had nowhere to turn the day he walked into Democratic Rep. Dina Titus’ office in Las Vegas.

The bank was preparing to foreclose on his modest, three-bedroom home — a house he had bought for $250,000 four years before on a block where they were now selling for $90,000.

The office staff remembers the 43-year-old casino maintenance worker walking in, without an appointment, his 11-year-old son in tow.
