Cortez Masto Calls for Airlines to Continue to Provide Aid to Victims and Families of Las Vegas Shooting

Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Dean Heller (R-NV) yesterday sent a follow-up letter to airline industry leaders requesting additional consideration for those wounded and the families of those killed in the attack in Las Vegas. This letter is a continuation of previous requests, which included that airlines send personnel to the convention center to support families and that the airlines provide discounted charges to transport the remains of the deceased. “As we continue to do everything we can to assist the victims and their loved ones from Sunday night's senseless shooting in Las Vegas, we wanted to encourage you to consider additional policies that would ease travel for families at this difficult time,” the Senators wrote. “Your focus and attention to the victims, the deceased, and those closest to them will ensure one less painful experience in the devastation of this week's events.” More here.
