Issue: October 13, 2011

Hi everybody.
Are you sick of health care? Get it? Sick of health care? Anyway ... in this week's RN&R cover story, our publisher Jeff vonKaenel sat down with Mike Willden, the director of Nevada's Department of Health and Human Services, for a candid discussion about the future of health care in our state. Also in this week's issue, news editor Dennis Myers examines the fledgling Occupy Reno group. And, for Art of the State, our intrepid high school intern Sami Edge checked out Tri-X-Noise, an exhibition at youth arts organization Holland
Project's new location. Be sure to pick up a print copy of the paper for exclusive cartoons and columns.
As always, thanks for reading! If it weren't for you, we'd have to give up our benefits.
