Report Card Shows which Lawmakers Stood up for Taxpayers: Only 20 of 63 Kept their Commitments to Taxpayers

December 1, 2015 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

It’s easy for elected officials to pay lip service to how well they’re doing and talk about their achievements but, just as in school, report cards show the world what actually happened. To that end, the Nevada Policy Research Institute (NPRI) has just released its 2015 Legislative Review & Report Card, which includes a narrative overview of the session and scores every … [Read more...] about Report Card Shows which Lawmakers Stood up for Taxpayers: Only 20 of 63 Kept their Commitments to Taxpayers

CARSON CITY – Responding to Gov.

What to Expect from Carson City in 2015:Republican Sweep Creates New Opportunities for Policy Reforms

January 1, 2015 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

The November wave that swept Republicans to victory not only solidified their control of the governor’s mansion but also saw them capture both chambers of the Nevada Legislature for the first time in 85 years. So now what? In the lifetime since Republicans last controlled the legislative process, liberal policies, decade after decade, have generated many problems for the … [Read more...] about What to Expect from Carson City in 2015:Republican Sweep Creates New Opportunities for Policy Reforms

Medicaid Expansion Pressures Nevada’s Poor, Doctors, State Budget

December 1, 2014 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

Addition of 281,000 to state dole creating long waits for doctor openings Last year, almost 25,000 Nevadans found their health plans canceled, thanks to the so-called Affordable Care Act. The ACA also caused a dramatic increase in the price of individual insurance plans — with Nevada having the largest premium increases in the entire country, according to a national study … [Read more...] about Medicaid Expansion Pressures Nevada’s Poor, Doctors, State Budget

Celebrating the Constitution: The Long-Term Benefits of its Short-Term Inefficiencies

April 1, 2014 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

In all of life, actions have both short-term and long-term consequences — and often those outcomes stand in stark contrast to each other. If your three-year-old child is screaming for you to buy him a toy at the store, the quickest way to quiet him is to get the toy. But your actions will have told him that throwing a fit is a great way to get stuff he wants, and so each … [Read more...] about Celebrating the Constitution: The Long-Term Benefits of its Short-Term Inefficiencies

Odds for success of PERS plan – Roughly 1 in 12 Quintillion: Nevada Retirees Risk Seeing Their Benefits Reduced as Money Runs Short

January 2, 2014 By Victor Joecks 5 Comments

Aside from death and taxes, there are no sure things in life. Everything we do involves an element of risk. The question then becomes: How much risk is reasonable, given the stakes? In the private sector, most entrepreneurs have risked tens of thousands of dollars — or sometimes even tens of millions of dollars — pursuing opportunities to grow their businesses. They … [Read more...] about Odds for success of PERS plan – Roughly 1 in 12 Quintillion: Nevada Retirees Risk Seeing Their Benefits Reduced as Money Runs Short

Taxpayers Lose Big: Lawmakers Impose New Burdens

November 1, 2013 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

Nevada Gov. Sandoval and legislators passed numerous tax increases while pretending that they didn’t raise taxes.

Three years ago, both Brian Sandoval and Rory Reid ran for governor on a “no new taxes” platform. Last year, voters in five Nevada counties rejected six efforts to raise taxes — even though Barack Obama was at the top of the ticket, driving liberal voter turnout. Given the clear will of the voters throughout the state, you’d expect that the governor and legislators would … [Read more...] about Taxpayers Lose Big: Lawmakers Impose New Burdens

31 Percent of Nevada Workers Want to Leave Their Unions

August 1, 2013 By Victor Joecks Leave a Comment

Union Restrictions Make it Difficult for Members to Opt Out Have you ever been trapped? Maybe you were stuck in traffic without A/C on a blistering summer day. Maybe an elevator door took three beats too long to open. Maybe you squeezed into clothes that were just a bit too tight and constricted your movements. Being trapped is a terrible feeling. You feel stuck, isolated … [Read more...] about 31 Percent of Nevada Workers Want to Leave Their Unions
