Las Vegas Sun

Thank you, next time I go to the shop, I'm sure that I will enjoy them. :0)They're quite good.

Well, she conceded, and it's over, but I felt it was interesting how you compared being "an informed taxpayer and resident" to being "a lazy fact finder", see we all make typos here and there. Anyway, the only mistake that she made was in her decision for a husband. As far as the copy writer goes, how do you know she wasn't. Did she say that she was one or still is one? Well, I wish you the best of luck, franklin. In the future wherever life takes you, I hope that you discover that an open mind and open heart is always better then talking bad or down about someone you really don't know. It only makes that person feel bad and makes you look that much more shallow and weak. Good luck!

I've may have only been there twice but know her and her family and she is the owner/manager of her place.....who else would do it? And yes, I stand by my "Lazy fact finders" comment because if you would actually do some looking in, you would know what she is really about. You can't believe everything you hear, and yes, you are a taxpayer and have the right to feel the way you feel, but is it because of what's in the papers or because you actually know these things? Did you know that she grew her hair out and cut it off for "Locks of Love"? Did you know that she volunteers her personal time for helping others? Probably not, because she isn't an attention hound and doesn't need or want the press for those things. So she's made some mistakes in her personal life....who hasn't. Because you make a mistake or bad decision in your personal life, would that make you bad at your job? Her sandwich shop has nothing to do with how you are being represented.....how she has represented district 4 for the past 2 terms determines that.

By the way, just another little addition to all the negative......why in the heck would she say what the name of her sandwich shop is anyway? Would you want all of you negative, bad mouthing, lazy fact finders to bother you at work? Okay, yes, lets tell the media where her sandwich shop is.....that way everyone in the district can go there and bombard her with a bunch of fluff and nonsense when all she wants to do is go to work and have a peaceful place to get away from it all! Good grief! Let's get over ourselves for a minute.....shall we? At least we know she's human and makes mistakes. I'd rather vote for someone like that then someone who does nothing but moan and groan about others.

You know, I guess it's much easier to talk down about someone than to actually look up the facts! I've been to Francis Allen's sandwich shop twice and it has been around for many years. She has worked hard to learn about the history of her shop and she takes care of everything. She works there everyday to make sure that her employees are always working and she puts orders in for the inventory, takes care of payroll and even makes sandwiches. I know that she purchased it from the original owner, and yes, it is in Las Vegas. Also, if someone doesn't want to recall "how they make a living", then who cares?! It's legal and it's hers. Let's focus on how she has done as an Assembly Woman and not on her decisions in her personal life, shall we?!

Sorry, I meant to say because she supposedly said that he embarrassed her. I got caught up in the moment. Didn't meant to miss quote.

Oh by the way, the situation with the florist was blown way out of proportion, too. The florist overcharged her for her flowers. People tried to say that Francis was taking advantage, but the florist was the one taking advantage. Not only did she get some of the colors wrong, but some of the flowers were wilted, some fell down before the ceremony (and was not replaced by the florist), and the florist didn't even get finished with the flowers until after she got to the reception site. She was still putting the flowers together in her van. She cut some ribbon and left it on the table for the wedding planner to put on the other tables even though it was the florist's job to set up all of the tables as needed. Not only did the florist not set up any of the tables but charged Francis for setting them up. I know this, because I was there! Did anyone even stop to think that maybe the florist was in the wrong? Francis stopped payment on the final check because the florist did not do her job. Francis offered her a payment for the job done and waited for a response but didn't get one until later. The florist was in breach of contract for not completing all of the things on the contract. Francis could've sued the florist if she wanted but that is NOT how she is. She was trying to work out a deal and at least pay for what the florist did complete. People need to check the facts and concentrate on the more serious problems that Vegas is encountering! Francis Allen is a honest, bright, and up front woman who deserves nothing but respect. I wish that more politicians were as honest as she is!

First of all, people need to be careful insulting someone publicly and need to know all of the TRUE facts before judging someone. I am not a Republican, but I happen to know Francis and I know for a fact that the only thing Francis Allen is guilty of is bad judgment for a husband. She didn't "stab" her new husband. He threw a hissy because she wouldn't bow down to him and b/c she so called "embarrased" him in front of friends. He cut himself (whether by accident or not, I do not know) and freaked out and because she didn't call 911, he told the hospital that she stabbed him. But, when he found out that his little lie would get her arrested, he tried to change his tune, but the damage had already been done. Francis is a very honest and kind person. Probably one of the last honest and upfront politicians around today. She not only donates her time and money to countless organizations, but she recently cut all of her hair off and donated it to Locks of Love. But of course, this doesn't make for useful or entertaining news. Instead, people would rather bash someones integrity just to gain a few lines in the news. So she is a Republican! So what?!? Just b/c the old GW is a Republican doesn't mean that all Republicans are bad. Yes, "A diamond is a diamond", and "A club is a club", but just because some diamonds have flaws, does that mean that we are to discard and stop buying all diamonds? Furthermore, people need to look in the mirror before placing judgement on others and not believe something just because it is in the media. Stop and think for a minute how many times someone has said something to or about you to others. Was it all true? How did it make you feel? Yes, she is in the public eye, but that doesn't give anyone the right to bash her.
