Las Vegas NowGov Gibbons to Meet With Obama on Economy
Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons will join at least 40 other governors meeting Tuesday in Philadelphia with the president-elect to discuss ways of dealing with the tanking economy.
Gibbons plans to attend a closed-door meeting Tuesday with Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden at Independence Hall. The meeting is being hosted by the National Governors Association.
Nevada, like many other states, is in serious economic trouble.
Gibbons spokesman Dan Burns said the Republican governor "has a variety of topics that he wants to discuss, and the most important is the economy. Most of the other governors have the same concerns."
"It's not just how bad the economy is, but how we're going to get out of this," Burns added.
