Letter: Branigan dedicated public servant
Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2000 | 9:53 a.m.
I am particularly troubled by the characterization of Ms. Branigan's performance in this case. I believe only part of the story is being reported, the part that shows Mr. Branigan in the worst possible light. I have known Ms. Branigan for over six years. She has served her entire professional career as a public servant working for the office of the Nevada attorney general. During this time, Ms. Branigan has represented the state in major litigation, and has won judgments saving the taxpayers of this state millions of dollars.
I wrote this letter because I believe the public should have a balanced view of Ms. Branigan's contributions to the bar and the public of Nevada. While it is fair for the press to report on the performance of public servants, I don't believe it is fair to represent a public servant's performance in one case as indicative of their overall performance. Ms. Branigan has been, and remains, a competent, hard-working, and honest public servant.
