Louisiana poised to give officials a raise

I don't know if he is on or not, but he is from Northern Nevada (Reno).

I was just curious, I was born in Las Vegas and I know the commisoner of officials for southern NV

I would love to get paid for the game plus travel. Ours is flat rate and it is less than 36 a game (don't forget no travel. Plus I easily drive 50+ miles alot.) So we come out making very little, but I think we get a $5 raise for the next 2 yrs. I think.

Dave, you know they decided not to legislate the $2 raise every two years. They are supposed to revisit that. Hopefully this time it won't be 10 years before another raise.

Dave,
I have to wonder why the basketball refs would accept such a low game fee when the football guys are cleaning up. That seems insane to me. Furthermore, it is grossly unfair.

PS Yes, I'm in Reno, and yes, Ratner is still the Commish in Vegas.

NV, Football is such a huge sport out here, so that is why but all games are a 2 or 3 game set so basketball will make as much as football with travel and all. I knew Ratner was still commish, he's my dad, lol. Ref a holic I knew they tabled the increase, hopefully they will take care of us before 10 years is up again.
