THIS WEEK'S BUSINESS PRESS POLL QUESTION
Log onto the Las Vegas Business Press Web site and let us hear your opinion on this week's question.
In his State of the State address, Gov. Jim Gibbons called for major spending cuts that would impact education services. Gibbons said the fiscal crisis requires significant cuts and that "It's time to stop whining that education in Nevada doesn't work because of a lack of funding." Gibbons is proposing ending mandatory full-day kindergarten and giving vouchers to parents to send their children to private schools.
