Gibbons says something gracious about President

Although he didn’t meet with President Barack Obama this week, Gov. Jim Gibbons said he “liked” the idea of the Commander in Chief coming to Southern Nevada to tout the solar panel success story at Nellis Air Force Base.

“It focuses the world’s attention on what we’re doing in Nevada,” Gibbons said in a Review-Journal editorial board meeting. “It’s the perfect thing for us economically to say to the world, come look at Nevada. If you’re interested in solar, come look at Nevada.”
