The Decision to ‘Re-Open’ the Economy Shouldn’t be Government’s to Make

May 1, 2020 By Michael Schaus Leave a Comment

Destroying the financial hopes and dreams of thousands of Nevadans should have never been seen as the only way to combat a pandemic. And given the depth of the financial harm this shutdown has caused, getting people back to earning a living should, at this point, be considered equally as important as containing the spread of the virus. After all, the cost of the shutdown … [Read more...] about The Decision to ‘Re-Open’ the Economy Shouldn’t be Government’s to Make
