It’s the start of the third week of the 2017 Legislative Session, and Day 15 is going to be busy.
It’s Day 12 of the 2017 Legislative Session. It’s the second Friday of the session, and like last Friday, it’ll be a light day for lawmakers.
If you prefer ignorance on policy issues and politicians, do the rest of us a favor: don’t vote.
It’s Day 11 of the 2017 Legislative Session. It’ll be a full day of committee hearings with bills on a wide variety of subjects.
It’s Day 10 of the 2017 Legislative Session. Lawmakers have now introduced over 400 bills. They’re voting bills out of committee and even giving bills floor votes.
Empathy, discussion, debate — even verbal jabs — require that people understand each other.
It’s Valentine’s Day, but don’t expect everything to be roses on Day 9 of the 2017 Legislative Session.
It’s Day 8 of the 2017 Legislative Session, and the start of the second week. Committees are getting into a groove, and lawmakers are working with the Legislative Counsel Bureau to perfect language on bills they want to introduce.
It’s the fifth day of the 2017 Legislative Session, and it’s finally Friday. Yes, legislators and lobbyists are just as excited as the rest of us. Here’s what to watch for.
Democrats aren’t wasting any time trying to overturn Republican reforms from 2015.
It’s the third day of the 2017 Legislative Session. Committees are just about in full swing and Democrats’ liberal agenda is on full display, including yesterday’s introduction of a massive minimum wage increase. Here’s what to watch for today:
On Day 2 of the 2017 Nevada Legislature, Senate Democrats introduced a minimum-wage bill. Beyond heated debate, the bill will shed light on the strategy Democrats will use to push their liberal agenda.
The 2017 legislative session begins today, and Democrats have only the illusion of control.
The board of Nevada’s Public Employees’ Retirement System just slapped you in the face — while also reaching into your wallet to pay their legal bills. Public employee salary information is public record. But pensions aren’t? Come on.
