Commissioner Bill Brady just seconded the motion from Avansino.

The chairman is disagreeing with Avansino and saying Nevada should be able to vote without him having to go to California.

Here we go! What's the chairman's name? Am sure him and Arum would be linked somehow.

Is Arum present at the hearing?
Dan Rafael
(2:16 PM)


No, Arum is in Puerto Rico for the Lopez-Concepcion card. Top Rank president Todd duBoef is there on behalf of Top Rank.

They are clarifying the motion is not to deny the application (which would basically give him a one-year suspension). The motion is to table the application so he can go to Calif.

They're getting real technical with the rules.

It will either be voted today or it might be tabled.

Exactly.
