I am honored to have Chris Giunchigliani's endorsement. Chris is a lifelong teacher, mentor, and former leader of both the Clark County and Nevada State Education Associations. Her support means the world to me.

The film tax credit narrowly passed the Assembly - but it still has to go through the Senate. It's not over. Contact your state senator now and ask them not to sell Nevada's future to movie studios!

all of the analysis from other states show that film credits don't generate jobs. i think allegiant stadium was our lucky one.

true. what's supposed to stop them here when the net effect hurts the state? 872 gets on a shiny thing and we're all forced to go along with it no matter how bad the idea is.

ccea endorsed right before the session started. actually the ones who broke that ftc is on the agenda.

this is the last straw for me on going along with those groups. i don't know exactly where this takes me, but i've had enough.

seems like it. i wonder how speaker yeager feels so compelled to push through such a pile of crap. he knows it's a bad for the state.

good point. maybe there's hope that they are a significant obstacle?

sad to see how many strings they can pull when it comes to handing out tax credits for cronies.

Why the Assembly hasn’t voted on film tax credits and Lombardo’s sweeping crime bill - The Nevada Independent Follow along as The Indy reports on key developments from day three of the special session.

Louder for those in the back: Tax breaks for movie studios and steeper punishment for the most vulnerable Nevadans are definitely not emergencies.

the base is mad and she meets the moment better than ford. we don't have to guess on where ford stands on film studio credits and ordinary folks really don't like it.

Billions in tax breaks for Elon Musk and Amazon while everyday Nevadans are stuck with poor infrastructure, underfunded education systems, and skyrocketing housing costs.

You can trust me to fund classrooms instead of corporate giveaways, because the strength of our schools is the strength of our future. Read more about my platform at AlexisForNevada.com/Issues.

It's time to end business-as-usual politics that make billionaires richer while the rest of us get left behind. I'm proud to be running on big, bold ideas to fix our streets, fund our schools and support our families.

“Hey, wait. Why is everyone packing their bags? What do you mean you’re never coming back, honey? You’ll see me in court? No, hey — don’t use that tone of voice on me, young man — and the horse I rode in on? Who taught you to use such language?”

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

Lawmakers: Trump policies could tank Nevada revenue, create state budget crisis • Nevada Current The Nevada state budgeting process began with a $335 million oopsie, and while it may have been resolved, a potentially much larger fiscal crisis looms: the Trump administration.

State Sen. Dina Neal theorized that people may buckle down on spending “because they’re not understanding what is going to happen in this environment.”

“What we are seeing is fear, and ultimately fear makes you say, ‘I need to keep the money that I have in the bank..."

For Nevada Latinos, feelings mixed as Trump enacts his immigration plans - The Nevada Independent The implications of Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda, which includes a mass deportation campaign and suspending asylum, could have an especially pronounced effect on Nevada.

"...organizers at the Thursday forum cautioned people not to allow immigration officials into their home even if the person answering is a legal resident. If they live in a mixed-status family, they could put others in their household at risk..."
