Speaking for Nevada

A Line DrawnRedistricting in Nevada

June 1, 2020 By Keith Pickard Leave a Comment

Most everyone knows every ten years, the states count each of their citizens in order to claim seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The following year, state legislatures are required to re-draw district boundaries for each House member they have been allotted based upon those census numbers. In Nevada, the Legislature typically also rebalances and redrafts their … [Read more...] about A Line Drawn

Speaking for NevadaSave Lives: Get Nevada Back to Work

April 18, 2020 By Adam Laxalt Leave a Comment

The coronavirus outbreak has unleashed unimaginable fear and heartbreak upon our country and the world. At the beginning of this crisis, each of us worried that either we or those close to us would get sick. That concern remains today, and justifiably so. No one wants to suffer or see our loved ones suffer. That concern also includes not wanting to endure the financial pain … [Read more...] about Speaking for Nevada

Maintaining Checks and BalancesSuper Majority Vote Requirement Ignored by Democrats

September 1, 2019 By Heidi Gansert Leave a Comment

In the final days of Nevada’s 80th Legislative Session, the Democrat majority in the Nevada State Senate and Assembly wielded their power to pass Senate Bill 551 (SB551) which raised Modified Business Tax (MBT) rates beyond their scheduled July 1, 2019 levels using a new simple majority voting threshold of 50 percent plus one vote. This vote was in direct conflict with the … [Read more...] about Maintaining Checks and Balances

Don’t Ignore Politics: Politics Won’t Ignore You

May 1, 2018 By Mark Hutchison Leave a Comment

In the midst of today’s polarizing political climate, I sometimes hear people say they prefer not to get involved in politics. It’s dirty, negative and depressing. It’s a sport fought with knives. All of which may be true to a point. But, as distasteful as politics may be, politics will never ignore you. It will influence the amount you take home in your paycheck, the quality … [Read more...] about Don’t Ignore Politics: Politics Won’t Ignore You

Nevada’s Treasurer’s Office: From Education Savings Accounts to Investing State Funds

March 1, 2017 By Dan Schwartz Leave a Comment

As State Treasurer, my office was asked to administer the Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs). We acted expeditiously to establish rules for the program, which we completed over a year ago. With the help of the Attorney General’s office, we fought two lawsuits, finally ending up at the Nevada Supreme Court. Though the Court didn’t like the way the ESA’s were funded, the … [Read more...] about Nevada’s Treasurer’s Office: From Education Savings Accounts to Investing State Funds

History in the Making: The 79th Session of the Nevada Legislature

February 1, 2017 By Alisa Nave-Worth 1 Comment

The historic result of the 2016 election ushers in a new set of challenges, opportunities, and unknowns for Nevada businesses at the federal and state levels. Here, at home, Nevada bucked the national trend and once again gave Democrats control of both houses of the legislature. The result is two new legislative majorities, along with a host of freshman chairs and freshman … [Read more...] about History in the Making: The 79th Session of the Nevada Legislature

Transportation in Southern Nevada: The Added Benefits of Investing in Infrastructure

May 1, 2016 By Rebecca Miltenberger Leave a Comment

Congress Can Minimize Damage of President’s Deal with Iran

December 1, 2015 By Dean Heller 1 Comment

Passions about the President’s deal with Iran run high for Nevadans and those across our country. Since the deal was announced in July 2015, hundreds of Nevadans wrote me letters, called my offices, and spoke with me face-to-face, urging me and my colleagues to reject the deal. Like the majority of Nevadans, I oppose the President’s nuclear agreement with Iran and was … [Read more...] about Congress Can Minimize Damage of President’s Deal with Iran

Taxes and Education: The Decision-Maker’s Perspective

September 1, 2015 By Nick Rossi Leave a Comment

I am a native Nevadan and I was publicly educated here. In fact, my father took time away from his gaming career to teach and my daughter and daughter-in-law are Nevada teachers now. I appreciate the vital role teachers and education have in our society. However, the fact is that the cost of a public education is accelerating at a rate which is exceeding our state’s economic … [Read more...] about Taxes and Education: The Decision-Maker’s Perspective

SB 483: The Facts You Need

July 1, 2015 By Carole Vilardo Leave a Comment

SB 483: Nevada's Tax Plan, The Facts You Need

When originally introduced, SB 483 was Governor Sandoval’s bill to make the sunset taxes from prior sessions permanent, to increase the cigarette tax and eliminate the pre-payment of the net proceeds of minerals tax. The bill was further amended by the Assembly to incorporate the Governor’s modified tax plan in the bill. At that point, the bill only required a Senate majority … [Read more...] about SB 483: The Facts You Need

Office of Military Legal Assistance: Securing Justice for the Armed Forces at Home

June 1, 2015 By Adam Laxalt Leave a Comment

It is the country’s duty to protect our servicemen, to promote their freedom and to ensure justice for them.

As a former Navy JAG and professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, I take to heart a popular Latin inscription in the Navy: “Non sib sed patriae.” It means, “Not for self, but for country.” That selfless mentality forged the collective courage of our graduates and service members of all stripes. Our military have sacrificed throughout their service for our families, communities and … [Read more...] about Office of Military Legal Assistance: Securing Justice for the Armed Forces at Home

Steering Towards Technology: Nevada’s DMV works to Improve Systems

November 1, 2014 By Yahia Baghzouz 5 Comments

With Tesla propelling Nevada to the forefront of electric vehicle discussion, it is a good time to call attention to the benefits in Nevada.

With Tesla propelling Nevada to the forefront of electric vehicle discussion, it is a good time to call attention to the benefits of electric vehicles (EV) in Nevada and ask policymakers to help Nevadans reap those benefits. Here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), students and faculty at the Center for Energy Research (CER) are eager to work together with Las … [Read more...] about Maximize the Benefits of Electric Vehicles: It Starts at the State Policy Level

As business leaders who are deeply engaged in education reform efforts as schools across the state have not performed at the level of our expectations.

As business leaders who are deeply engaged in education reform efforts through Nevada Succeeds and the Education Alliance of Washoe County, we know that our schools across the state have not performed at the level of our expectations.

A Piece of Nevada’s Pie: The View from Reno’s Mayoral Office

August 1, 2014 By Bob Cashell Leave a Comment

In November of this year, my term will end as Reno Mayor, a role I’ve served in for more than a decade. Naturally, I’ve fielded the “what are you most proud of?” questions a lot lately.

A good friend of mine, former Nevada Governor Mike O’Callaghan, once told me: “Don’t try to get the whole pie. Get a piece of the pie. Maybe later you can get another piece of the pie.” That philosophy — that you’re only as good as the whole — is one that I’ve followed religiously during my time in public office, whether it be as City of Reno Mayor (2002-present), Lieutenant … [Read more...] about A Piece of Nevada’s Pie: The View from Reno’s Mayoral Office

Court of Appeals: Timely Justice to Nevadans and their Businesses

July 1, 2014 By James Hardesty Leave a Comment

Adding a Court of Appeals would have minimal fiscal impact on Nevada.

Nevada’s Supreme Court has been overburdened for decades as it struggles to provide the public with speedy access to justice in the face of an ever growing population. The increasing backlog of cases is prolonging justice in Nevada. Currently, 56 percent of all appeals require more than six months to be heard, with 29 percent taking more than one year. As a consequence justice … [Read more...] about Court of Appeals: Timely Justice to Nevadans and their Businesses

A look into Nevada’s transportation past and a glimpse at the transportation innovations of the future illustrates how important transportation is. As the fastest growing state for decades, Nevada’s … [Read more...] about Transportation at a Crossroads
