Nevada lawmakers saw the state through the Great Depression without raising taxes. To hold the line, they legalized gambling, offered quickie divorces and advertised "One Sound State." Today's lawmakers face another milestone, one where they must consider ways to raise taxes, reduce spending, and safeguard the school system and critical programs. In a five-part series, the Review-Journal looks at how the state has arrived at this point and the decisions it now must make.
