Politics and Government
As lawmakers strive to construct a budget for Nevada’s public schools through funding takeaways and givebacks, teachers with jobs and salaries at stake are bracing for the fallout.
To no one’s surprise, Gov. Brian Sandoval on Saturday vetoed the Democrat-approved redistricting plan, contending it diluted the power of Hispanics to win seats. It appears that redrawing Nevada’s congressional and state legislative districts is headed to court, as many legislators predicted all along.
Legislators voted to close the 140-year-old Nevada State Prison next April, giving workers an extra six months to find jobs. Gov. Brian Sandoval had proposed to close the Carson City prison Oct. 31, a step to save $17.3 million over the next two years.
