"I have finished", the staff suddenly ends the interview with News 4 Over Fiber Optic Project Failed

Carson City, nev. (News 4 and Fox 11) – A criminal investigation is in progress in a failed fiber optical project in Nevada, with $ 9 million unknown to, But the state parliamentarians seem reluctant to launch their own investigation.

Senator of Nevada, Ira Hansen, was a vocal on this issuecriticizing the office of the Attorney General for his role in the project. “This was done through the Attorney General. They are lawyers for the state of Nevada. Someone in that office has threw the ball in its entirety,” Hansen said.

Hansen, the Attorney General, who approved the contract with UPRISE. Prosecutor General Aaron Ford responded, saying that Hansen is “uninformed by all facts.”

Governor Joe Lombardo, who chairs the Board of Directors of the NDOT who approved the contract, stresses that the contract with UPRISE was set up in 2022, before being elected. However, the contract was signed in 2023, after Lombardo took over.

Hansen, representing Pershing County, where the USDA promised high -speed internet in 2022, requests a legislative inquiry. “What we need to do is find out why a contract was issued by the state of Nevada a private party without protection,” Hansen said.

Senator Melanie Scheable, Democrat from Clark County and chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee, recognized the missing funds, but expressed her prudence. “I think we need more information and if we have information to indicate that there is some kind of incorrect behavior, I will be the first person to analyze,” she said.

When they were pressing if the parliamentarians were to organize a public hearing, Scheble’s interview was suddenly completed by a democratic staff.

The Attorney General’s office remains close about the criminal investigation, which started last month, after the owner of UPRISE resigned from his family’s investment activity. Hansen also addressed the state treasurer to ask if any laws need to strengthen the situation.

Prosecutor General of Nevada, Aaron D. Ford, has since provided the following statement:

“I know Senator Hansen for many years, dating from my days in the state senate and I know he is very informed about the state government and is quite familiar with both litigation and investigation processes. As such, I know that he is aware of the long -term policy of the OAG so that he has not confirmed the investigations and when he refused the investigations.

Senator Hansen is uninformed by all the facts in this problem, and his insinuations for both the dedicated civil servants in my office and for me are based not only on the lack of information, but also on the desire to politicize this problem.

We will continue the policy of our office to confirm neither to refuse our investigations and to refrain from comments on pending disputes. We respectfully ask Senator Hansen to allow the dispute process to play instead of working to put the finger on the scale -media. “

Despite the missing $ 9 million, Hansen remains the only voice in Carson City, asking for responsibility.
