Nevada Politics Today: Segerblom calls for higher taxes, greater county control of CCSD

Sen. Tick Segerblom is running for the Clark County Commission, District E, but he’s keeping one eye on the Clark County School District. Segerblom wants to increase both the sales and property taxes and have the county commission take control of the school board.

Segerblom made his comments while appearing on Nevada Politics Today.

“We need those extra resources that we just don’t have right now and that costs money,” said Segerblom of his desire to raise the sales tax in Clark County by one percent. “We cannot be held hostage by the rest of the state.”
