A man called the Titan from Tuscarora, who served more than three decades in the Nevada legislature has died. Dean Rhoades was 82. He was a leader of the so called Sagebrush Rebellion of the late 1970’s, drawing attention to the dispute between rural Nevada and the federal government. He was involved in numerous organizations including the Nevada Cattleman’s Association, and the Rotary Club. He famously broke with the GOP in 2010, endorsing Senator Harry Reid for re-election.
