OUR TAKE: BETTER WAY TO SHARE WOULD MEAN BETTER HEALTH CARE Selling pizza directly to hungry families makes more sense than standing on the street with your hands full of slices, shouting at random people about how good it tastes. Kudos, then, to the team at Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. With no realtime marketing data to target customers, a major reduction in brokers selling plans and a toxic political climate creating confusion, Heather Korbulic and her staff increased health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act by 900 people in the 2016-17 enrollment period. The gain is small but significant because of its difficulty. Korbulic’s office remains locked in a two-year battle with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services over demographic data collected when people sign up for insurance through healthcare.gov. Basically, Nevada’s health exchange cannot get the member-level information it needs from the feds to target potential customers despite the state

sending money to Washington, D.C., to help administer its hybrid marketplace. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services cites privacy laws for not sharing information Korbulic’s team could use to not only cover more underserved people, but also to spend its $2 million marketing budget more efficiently. Government sharing could potentially prevent government waste, which should be a simple ideal but apparently is not for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. For government officials such as Korbulic and spokeswoman Janel Davis to call the situation “extremely frustrating,” “extremely difficult” and “absolutely ridiculous” shows what an unnecessary problem this has become. A compromise that provides Nevada officials the information they need and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services the cover it seeks is long past due. — ADAM CANDEE

Q&A with Dr. Paul Lanfranchi

‘Raising the community standards and expectations for quality medicine is a must in a fast-growing city’ Dr. Paul Lanfranchi, a facial plastic surgeon, started the Lanfranchi Center from scratch. Taking the advice of his mother, who told him to specialize in one area, the center focuses on a handful of procedures. “Not being a jack-of-all-trades has allowed our center to offer something unique,” he said. Do you have any recent news or updates about yourself, your work or your company that you’d like to share? We are proud to announce a new partnership with the American Cancer Society. The Lanfranchi Center will be donating $50,000 to launch the TLC Lift Program to benefit Las Vegas residents who need assistance in getting to and from their appointments for treatments. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? A year ago, I would have said a major professional sports team, but we have that covered later this year. Sports teams tend to create a sense of unity and commonality regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic status. Now that we have a team, we’re as close to perfect as ever. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? Continued population growth with average local health care has the potential to be a significant problem for our residents in the next decade as need increases faster than the number of quality physicians we have to serve. Hopefully, this growth creates opportunity for Las Vegas to attract more top-notch physicians and health care providers. Raising the community standards and expectations for quality medicine is a must in a fast-growing city like ours. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas? For the past few years, it has been at my son’s soccer games. Since he was 5 years old, I have coached his soccer team. It allows me to teach, motivate and watch all the kids grow while having fun. Describe your management style. I hope anyone who has worked with me would say I’m nurturing, consistent and fair. “Lead by example” is my mantra. Micromanagement is something I try to avoid.

There is nothing quite like performing onstage with a group of guys, making music and entertaining a crowd.

Cancer patients inspire creation of natural deodorant Manufacturing cosmetics is unheard of in Las Vegas.

VEGAS INC STAFF

Ira Kaganovsky Green wanted to create natural alternatives to “toxinfilled products that line the shelves of every store.” Her Eastern European parents brought many of their old traditions with them when they immigrated to the United States. “Everything in our kitchen was not only sustenance, but medicine,” she said. “Vodka, chicken soup, black tea, rose water. Pink eye? Black tea compress. Fever? Vinegar and water. Ear infection? Vodkadoused cotton swab in your ear. As I became an adult and a mother, this idea of natural remedies has left a lasting impression upon me.” The result is Freedom natural deodorant, which comes in lavender citrus, bergamot mint and unscented varieties. It’s even edible, though Kaganovsky doesn’t recommend tasting it. Describe your business.

More jobs projected at Tesla’s gigafactory By mick akers Staff Writer

The number of jobs to be created by the Tesla gigafactory in Northern Nevada is now expected to surpass original estimates. More than 10,000 jobs are now forecast to come out of the Tesla plant, or 54 percent more than the 6,500 initial plans for the factory stated, according to Steve Hill, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. Speaking at the recent joint meeting of the Assembly Committee on Taxation and the Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development in Carson City, Hill explained the rising employee count. “When we originally presented the project to the Legislature in 2014, we projected 6,500 jobs on site,” Hill said. “The efficiency that’s being created from a functional standpoint at the facility is actually enabling more employees ... on the site.” When completed, the gigafactory will be 5 million square feet with five floors of manufacturing, the largest manufacturing facility in the world, Hill said. It already is producing battery cells, power walls and battery packs. The factory now has almost 1,000 permanent employees, 90 percent of whom are Nevadans. Additionally, there are 2,500 construction work-

ers at the site, of whom 60 percent are Nevadans. Adding to the heightened employee expectations, Hill spoke about a planned addition to the site that will create more jobs along with it. “Tesla has announced a second initiative at the site, which is the drivetrain factory for the Model 3,” he said. “The drivetrain is comprised of both the electric motors and the gear boxes that you’ll see attached to the wheel units which power the car.” The drivetrain factory represents a $350 million investment and will create 550 additional jobs, Hill said. Initially, Tesla designed the factory to produce 35 gigawatt hours of battery power annually, but six months ago, it announced it had increased the projection to 50 GWh capacity, which Hill said allows employment in the building to increase proportionally. During the company’s 2016 fourth quarter and full year earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said production at the facility outpaced original estimates. “Mr. Musk in their earnings call said that they felt they could produce battery capacity now for 1 million cars, and originally that was 500,000,” Hill said. “So, the employment prospects at the site continue to improve.”

Former CFO returns By mick akers Staff Writer

Tesla’s chief financial officer is stepping down, with a familiar face filling the void. Jason Wheeler is resigning as Tesla’s CFO to pursue opportunities in public policy, Tesla announced recently. He will stay with the company through April to ensure a smooth transition. Former CFO Deepak Ahuja will return to the role for Tesla in March. He served as CFO from July 2008 through November 2015. Ahuja, 54, will have an annual base salary of $500,000 and will receive a $15 million new-hire equity grant spread out over four years in accordance with Tesla’s equity policies. The grant comes in the form of restricted stock units, stock options or a combination of both. Wheeler expressed gratitude to Tesla and said he will continue to fight for environmentally friendly initiatives going forward. “After spending the past 15 years helping to make information accessible to everyone and to advance sustainable energy, I’m looking forward to continuing to champion these causes and others from a public policy perspective,” Wheeler said.

After years of lawsuits, strippers still fighting for employee status By chris kudialis Staff Writer

A federal judge has given preliminary approval for a $6.5 million settlement in lawsuits against 64 of the 132 strip clubs owned by Déjà Vu Consulting Inc. nationwide. That could result in cash or up to $2,000 in club credits for the thousands of women who’ve worked (for at least a month) at the chain’s Las Vegas locations since 2004, including Déjà Vu, Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club, Showgirls and Little Darlings. The dozen or so wage-per-hour suits considered by U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy of Michigan consider a fundamental issue of the business: Should strippers be classified as independent contractors or employees? Michigan-based attorney Matthew Hoffer, who represents a Jane Doe plaintiff, confirmed the federal suit’s impact on Las Vegas dancers but declined to comment “until after a final settlement is reached.” Local managers of Déjà Vu and Little Darlings said they were not sure what effect the lawsuit would have on their dancers, deferring to the chain’s

national headquarters in Michigan. Déjà Vu Consulting Inc. did not return multiple requests for comment. The series of minimum wage and labor law violation suits started in 2008, when a dancer at a Michigan club run by Lansing-based Cin-Lan Inc. said she and dancers at eight other company clubs in the state were unfairly classified as independent contractors. Déjà Vu Consulting Inc. also was named in that suit. The companies and dancers settled for $11.3 million in 2011. Another Jane Doe filed what became a class-action lawsuit in Michigan, arguing that Déjà Vu had too much control over the day-to-day work of dancers labeled as independent contractors. The suit she filed expanded into a complaint covering the 64 Déjà Vu locations, incorporating other state and federal suits involving the company since 2008. About $935,000 will be divided among dancers who opt for cash payments, according to court documents. Déjà Vu dancers also can choose credits, from $200 to $2,000 depending on the length of time they worked at

the club, to use toward renting stage time and other fees. A hearing to determine whether the settlement and process for evaluating employee status is fair is scheduled for June 6. Strippers in Las Vegas have long protested work conditions and compensation. As independent contractors, they aren’t entitled to a minimum wage, insurance benefits, sexual harassment claims or workers’ compensation from clubs, where they pay to perform and collect only tips. In one of the most famous suits, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in 2014 that clubs were not exempt from provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and that employees were entitled to federal minimum wage. The final ruling came more than five years after dancers from Sapphire Las Vegas Gentleman’s Club sued the valley’s largest strip club in 2009. Despite continued rulings in favor of strippers, attorneys who have represented them say little within the industry has changed. Arizona-based Mick Rusing was the lead attorney in winning for the Jane Does involved in the Sapphire case,

and before that won compensation for strippers from the now-closed Glitter Gulch. While the Sapphire case seemed to set a precedent for treatment of dancers, any progress was “quickly reversed” when the 2015 Nevada Legislature passed Senate Bill 224. The bill, signed into law by Gov. Brian Sandoval, allows for “just about anyone” in Nevada to be classified as an independent contractor, regardless of the work they’re doing, Rusing said. “Under no stretch of the imagination are these women independent contractors,” he said. Rusing said strip clubs have “never won a case” against strippers suing for employee status, and he called Nevada’s definition of an independent contractor a “false comfort” for the industry. He pointed to Déjà Vu’s ongoing settlement in U.S. District Court as an example of the federal government’s willingness to intervene regardless of state laws. But after more than a decade of suing and winning money from the clubs, Las Vegas dancers haven’t seen “an iota of change” in how they’re compensated, Rusing said.

Teachers call it unfair to evaluate them on students’ test scores By ian whitaker Staff Writer

Unfair and inhumane. That’s how teachers described a state law holding them personally responsible for the performance of their students on standardized tests. They had a different reaction to a plan by Democratic Assemblyman Ozzie Fumo to repeal that law, which came in the form of a round of cheers and applause at a recent town hall meeting staged by the Nevada State Education Association, the state teachers union. Fumo’s bill, AB212, would scrap a 2015 teacher evaluation program passed by a Republican Legislature. The 2015 law required that by the 2017-18 school year, as much as 40 percent of a teacher’s performance review would be based on student test results. Teachers say the law is inherently flawed. For starters, standardized test results arrive long after the school year ends. By the time the teacher gets the results and the bad performance review, the students would already have moved on to a different grade. Second, most standardized tests focus on English and math, yet the 2015 law applies to teachers of all subjects, even school librarians and physical education teachers. Teachers said it was fundamentally unfair to punish them for what happens in students’ personal lives. In schools that post low test scores, the students often are from low-income families, and many are still learning English. Research has shown that such students tend to perform worse on tests than English speakers from more wealthy families. “There are many things we can control in our classrooms,” said Ruben Murillo, president of the teachers union. “The one thing we can’t control is what happens in our students’ personal lives.” Many teachers said they feared that linking evaluations to testing would create a disincentive to teach in at-risk schools. Others painted a bleak picture of life inside the classrooms of Nevada, one of endless paperwork, overcrowded classes, district administrators overly focused on meeting state mandates, and an inherently flawed regime of testing that students don’t take seriously but that keeps teachers constantly in fear of losing their jobs. “We’re humans, not robots,” a teacher at Silverado High School said. Fumo was sympathetic, at one point apologizing “on behalf of the Legislature” and adding that “local government has failed you as teachers.” He held up a stack of papers representing the length of the average teacher performance review, then held up a single sheet representing a typical job review in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. “It’s one page and there isn’t even a backside,” Fumo said as teachers sighed and shook their heads. “You guys are really under the microscope,” he said. The union is set to begin a concerted information campaign about the bill, which has the support of several Democrats in the state Senate, including Joyce Woodhouse and Tick Segerblom. “We don’t know if we’re going to win,” said Chris Daly, the union’s deputy director of government affairs. “But we’re going to fight the good fight.”

MGM Resorts to launch responsible-gaming program By mick akers Staff Writer

When the fun stops and gambling becomes a problem for an individual, seeking help could be difficult for some. In an attempt to provide better access to help, MGM Resorts International and British Columbia Lottery Corp. have entered an agreement to license the responsible-gaming program GameSense. GameSense encourages players to adopt behaviors that can reduce the risk of developing gambling disorders. Some of those behaviors include setting time and money limits and having an open dialogue with friends and family about personal gambling habits. The program will have a presence at MGM properties through GameSense information centers, where customers can go to receive education on responsible gambling. The possibility for kiosks on the casino floor also is being discussed. MGM will donate $1 million over five years to UNLV’s International Gaming Institute, which will research the program’s findings to improve it and aid similar efforts. UNLV’s research will help across the

board, said Alan Feldman, MGM Resorts executive vice president of global industry affairs. “We cannot just monitor what’s going on from a metrics point of view, but also really try to get into the important qualitative work for both employees and from our customers,” Feldman said. “Together we can learn a lot more ... from a customer service point of view, as opposed to trying to be the gambling police.” MGM anticipates having GameSense fully implemented in all of its properties by the end of the year. Jim Lightbody, BCLC president, echoed Feldman’s sentiments, explaining the importance of a program such as GameSense. “We believe it’s our role to take the lead in providing better responsible gambling programming that supports our players, helps reduce harm and strengthens the gaming industry as a whole,” Lightbody said. “We are thrilled MGM Resorts recognizes the value of our GameSense program.” Feldman said the program should be aimed at all guests, adding that the gaming industry does not and should not identify problem gamblers.

Green Ribbon Panel to examine marijuana rules for Clark County By april corbin Staff Writer

The Clark County Commission is assembling a “Green Ribbon Panel” to make recommendations regarding zoning and businesses licensing of the recreational marijuana industry. At a recent board meeting, commissioners settled on a panel consisting of members from the marijuana industry, the gaming and retail industries, and professional associations related to recreational and medical marijuana. Chairman Steve Sisolak proposed the creation of the panel, which he found necessary after a stakeholder meeting had generated more questions and concerns than answers. As an example, he noted that some residents were OK with medical marijuana facilities in their neighborhoods but opposed recreational retail shops. Other questions surrounded whether marijuana would be available in a hookah-style lounge

setting and if events like wine tastings would be staged for styles of the drug. “There are so many questions,” Sisolak said. “This group can get together to hear all of these questions and they could come forward to us with recommendations that we could adopt moving forward in terms of regulating the industry. It’s going to take some time.” Nevadans voted to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over in November. The law went into effect at the beginning of 2017, but state regulators are still in the process of crafting regulations. “We will follow whatever the state guidelines are, but we have to get out ahead of it,” said Nancy Amundsen, director of comprehensive planning for Clark County. “When the state Department of Taxation comes forth with its regulations, it’s going to start accepting applications and Clark County has to determine where they want these.”

say ing no, from page 1

‘While it can be quite convenient to have yes people in your life, do you respect that characteristic?’ respect from coworkers. The balance, needless to say, can prove a delicate one. “We live in a culture where it’s ‘bad’ to say no to someone of authority, particularly your boss,” said Isaac Bardos, a certified professional coach in Henderson. “That’s probably because as an employee, you fear the repercussions of saying no to someone who has power over your employment. That is certainly understandable.” That said, Bardos asked, “Have you ever respected someone more after they told you no? Did you find yourself wanting to ask them again because there was part of you that felt getting their yes was actually worth more now that they had said no? We all know people who are ‘yes people.’ While it can be quite convenient to have yes people in your life, do you respect that characteristic about them?” Bardos calls it beneficial to say no “when what you’re saying no to is overextending yourself. For example, if by saying yes it would add more stress and detract from your quality of life or your ability to balance what’s currently on your plate, it seems that a no might serve you and your coworker well.” No is “a powerful and important word,” Bardos said. “But it is important to understand that when you hear a no from your partner, friend, boss or family member, remind yourself that when the other person tells you no, they are not saying no to you, they are saying no to your idea or request. Before you say no to your boss, explain this to him: You are saying no to the idea or request, not no to him, which could be interpreted as a blatant personal rejection.” “What is so critical to remember is that every time you say yes to a request, by definition you are intentionally or unintentionally saying no to something else or someone else,” said Sheri Bardos, a career coach and the principal of Bardos Psychological Services in Henderson. “That could take the form of saying no to yourself, and thereby cutting out a well-needed lunch break to relax and recharge so

you can work more efficiently and feel good. Saying yes could lead to saying no to a more important project or deadline. I often encourage my clients to have a direct and open dialogue with whomever is making the request to clarify what they would like prioritized.” There is, Sheri Bardos says, a “very clear distinction between saying no to a boss versus a co-worker. In order to maintain your job, and depending on a variety of factors, it might be more effective to say yes to a boss while having an open discussion about what might be needed to make that happen. If your boss just assumes you will make time for everything, and has an unrealistic view of what you can get done, then you might want to seek out a competent career coach to smoothly navigate that process.” If it is a co-worker of your own status, she added, “then saying no may be critical to keeping stress low and feeling balanced.” Generational differences also must be factored in. Las Vegas attorney James Goodnow, a shareholder at Fennemore Craig, said many believe that nothing makes a Millennial happier than saying no. goodnow “Not true. More than a time or two, I’ve heard baby boomers and Gen Xers slam millennials who say no to projects or extra work as selfish and lazy — citing their decision as proof that Millennials are an inferior generation. This view is misguided.” Goodnow insists that while it is true that millennials may say no more than workers from previous generations, “the reasons for it may be dif-

ferent than many believe. Millennials in many ways represent the pendulum swinging back from the focus on work that drove the economic boom. … When millennials say no to work, we are at the same time saying yes to a richer, more sustainable life that values hard work at the office, but that is not necessarily defined by it.” No Right, No Wrong Not surprisingly, there is no shortage of advice on the right and wrong instances and ways to say no. n Be goal-oriented: Sheri Bardos says she is “not a fan of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ways to do things, because that implies there is an elusive rulebook out there floating around which we must abide by, when many expectations actually fluctuate based on a variety of factors.” Instead, she prefers to understand which style is most effective; that is, which helps a worker reach his goal in a straightforward and efficient manner. “That said, when people say no in an ineffective way, that means their tone is harsh, impatient, or they appear lacking in flexibility,” Bardos said. “Usually that comes as a result of feeling frustrated and resentful, because they have surpassed the number of yeses they are truly comfortable with. It would have been helpful to draw that line sooner.” She said an effective way to say no “would actually be starting with a yes, but clearly explaining what your needs are.” n Be respectful: “As an executive recruiter, saying ‘no thank you’ is part of the daily routine,” said Mark Wayman, founder of The Foundation, an executive placement firm focused on gaming and technology. “I only represent executives who I know personally, or who were referred to me. That means saying yes to a handful of candidates and ‘no thank you’ to the balance.” Wayman urges businesspeople to “always return your messages, even to say no thank you. We are all busy; however, it’s disrespectful to ignore people. I wish I had $20 for every person who

blew me off, then asked me for a job six months later. Return your messages — it’s the right thing to do.” n Just the facts: “Stick with data and the facts,” said Lilian Tomovich, chief experience officer at MGM Resorts International. “If it’s not on strategy or a priority linked to the strategic plan, or the data and facts don’t support it, then it’s a polite no with justification.” n Build trust: Rikki Tanenbaum, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Golden Nugget Casinos, suggested saying no only rarely. “Unless it’s a legally or ethically wrong move, or you can’t possibly deliver, try to say yes. Over time, as you build trust, you can begin to shape the conversations so that rather than saying no, you’re offering alternatives that more effectively achieve the desired outcome.” Tanenbaum also recommended having “a diplomatic, solutions-oriented conversation, where you say, ‘I don’t think I can do what you’re proposing, but I can do this ...’ ” n Have a rationale: Dr. Jonathan Salinas, a vocal cord specialist with Ear, Nose and Throat Consultants of Nevada, said employees should “express understanding for the thought process behind the request. Next, the employee should present the alternative solution they feel more comfortable with, stating the reason for declining the request. To say no without a rationale could be interpreted as disrespectful.” n Start a dialogue: “Hard no’s can be problematic,” said Micah E. Phillips, executive vice president and marketing director at Nevada State Bank. “A no should really be part of a dialogue on priorities and options. Focusing on common objectives will help lead to shared perspectives.” The wrong way to say no, Phillips added, is “a no that involves no dialogue. It is the quickest way to establish that you aren’t willing to support the other person, even if that isn’t the intention.” Will striking so fine a balance always prove easy? Most likely ... no.
