E!!

Apparently Mr. Nance, whom you may remember reading about here and here, has re-thunk his decision to give up his District 5 seat on the state Board of Education.  But Governor Gibbons has already declared the seat officially vacant and is taking new applications.  Looks like Nance, 49, will have to find some other forum for making a fool of himself, or perhaps just do as he had said and take care of his health and that of his young wife, Sharona Dagani, 20, who has cerebral palsy.

The more I read and the more people I talk with, the weirder this Nance story gets.  I’m starting to wonder if the guy has some serious psychological issues and what the mental/emotional capacity of his wife may be – which prompts me to try to be kind with my questions and comments. 

The LVRJ, which portrayed a flirtatious Nance at a DOE Board meeting in its Sunday story, now says Nance was having “make-out sessions” during meetings this past weekend.  Board VP Ruggiero called the conduct “shocking and deplorable” in his interview with the RJ.  Yesterday Ruggiero told me he had “never seen anything like it.”

For those of you just catching up, Nance, 49, is married to Sharona Dagani, a wheelchair bound 20-year old with cerebral palsy.  He met her in a nursing home earlier this spring (where Nance was recovering from a heart attack) and the two were married two weeks ago.  Apparently Nance was showering Dagani with what one might generously call an abundance of affection during meetings at which she was seated next to him in her wheelchair.

The RJ story notes that Dagani won a $2M lawsuit from a medical malpractice lawsuit last year.  When asked about this, Nance says he signed a pre-nup that protects his wife’s assets and that he has taken a vow of poverty as a Pentacostal preacher for a ministry he operate(d) out of his home.

Married or not, one wonders what a 49 year old man is doing making out with a disabled woman of 20 at a public meeting in between napping and boasting about all the “partying” he is doing.  If Nance and Dagani have any concerned friends and/or family here in Vegas, perhaps you should look into the situation.
