Very few people in this state could earn certificates of appreciation from all of the state's major elected officials from both parties - and actually have them be sincere. Very few people could last at the same job working for a panoply of difficult bosses for 30 years - 30 years! And yet that is exactly what Irene Porter has done as executive director of the Southern Nevada Homebuilders Association, a milestone she celebrated at a luncheon Tuesday. Porter is one of the few people in the political world who has garnered nearly universal respect in an industry that has faced many political challenges and often been reviled by us evil Fourth Estaters. She is a repository of important facts and wonderful stories from a distinguished career. Kudos, Ms. Porter!
