Wiener not retiring

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS-Despite rumors to the contrary, Democratic state Sen. Valerie Wiener said this weekend that she is not retiring and has already begun campaigning for reelection.

"It's simply not true," said Wiener regarding the rumors.  "Isn't that interesting, because I was the last one to hear about it."

Wiener has begun canvassing her district, having done two walks in the past week and with plans for 70 more before November.  She said that she had walking partners committed all the way through the election.
