Carson City - The federal stimulus package includes $38.8 million to weatherize 6,500 homes in Nevada, but legislators are fighting over whether only union members will be eligible for the jobs. As part of his "green" initiative, Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-Las Vegas, is pushing a bill that would require the prevailing union wage be paid to these workers and that the contractor provide insurance for the workers and their families.

Carson City - Nevada has handed out tax incentives worth an estimated $45 million to lure solar and geothermal projects to Nevada over the past four years. So far, the state has received in return promises that the projects' developers will create 89 permanent jobs. It's a number so small that some lawmakers are questioning whether taxpayers are getting a good return on their investment in the incentives.

The appointment on Rep. Dina Titus' calendar last Saturday didn't appear controversial at first glance. Yet Titus soon realized that she was wading into a political firestorm.

Las Vegas Sun Nevada budget Legislature service consultant study tax taxes

shared by David Bobzien on 27 Aug 09 - Cached

David Bobzien on 27 Aug 09

Carson City - Legislators have embarked on an ambitious endeavor - find someone who can figure out how to save Nevada. Lawmakers have issued a request for a consultant who will analyze the state's tax structure, measure the public's willingness to accept a broader tax base and examine the balance between local and state revenue. It's an exercise state leaders repeat every couple of decades and one that has rarely resulted in radical change in how Nevada raises tax revenue. But legislators insist this study will be different because the mission will go beyond the state's finances and include finding ways to improve Nevada's dismal rankings in quality-of-life measures such as health care, education, public safety and job creation.
