Former Gov. Kenny Guinn, who served during Nevada’s most explosive growth, leading with a pragmatic streak and fierce determination to do what was right rather than what more partisan elements in his party thought, has died.
Guinn guided Nevada from January 1999 through the end of his second term in 2006. He died July 22 in Las Vegas after a fall from a roof after suffering a possible heart attack. He was 73.
