Politics and Government
Workers in Nevada will see a bump in the state’s minimum wage this summer.
Imprisoned for a Las Vegas fatal DUI, former NFL player Henry Ruggs is in a prison work program that placed him at the Governor’s Mansion.
Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the case, set sentencing for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Las Vegas’ budget has already taken a hit from one of the cases won by developer Yohan Lowie, whose stymied housing plans for a shuttered golf course led to extensive litigation.
Gov. Steve Sisolak on Wednesday encouraged tenants to seek rental assistance, as thousands of Nevadans are expected to receive an eviction notice for nonpayment of rent once the federal eviction moratorium lifts Saturday.
Renters who have received an eviction notice can receive free in-person help Saturday at designated Las Vegas Library District branches.
Local anti-homeless groups and tenant advocates applauded the move Monday, but a representative for a Nevada apartment association called the move “devastating” for struggling landlords.
Gov. Steve Sisolak on Monday announced a 45-day extension of the moratorium on evictions, one day before the current moratorium was set to expire.
Sisolak said his order applies to evictions that were already filed before the declaration, and prohibits new lockouts, evictions filings and notices to pay. It also applies to commercial buildings, to protect small businesses closed by Sisolak’s previous order.
