Brian Sandoval promised that unprecedented levels of state spending would be accompanied by reforms...

(Ron Knecht & Geoffrey Lawrence) – This column reviews the new and increased taxes, totaling $700-million per year, passed recently by Nevada’s Legislature at the behest of Gov. Brian Sandoval. This record tax package makes permanent some previous tax hikes (“sunset” taxes) that were originally billed as only temporary measures to help Nevada...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – Nevadans all across the state are “fioreous” over the recently passed largest tax hike in Nevada’s history – including the creation of a new gross receipts tax very similar to the one Nevada voters overwhelmingly rejected last November by almost 80 percent! And there are two distinct...

(Ben Botkin of Las Vegas Review-Journal) – It’s a scene that has played out in the meeting rooms of county Republican groups throughout Nevada. Upset Republicans passing resolutions denouncing the more moderate GOP legislators who voted for the $1.1 billion tax package approved by the 2015 Legislature. Such indignation was on full display...

(Steve Sebelius, Las Vegas Review-Journal) – For a group of conservative lawmakers and activists who’d love nothing better than to circulate a petition to repeal the just-enacted tax increases of the 2015 Legislature, the hurdle of the so-called single subject rule is a high one. You remember the single-subject rule, right? That’s the...

To the editor: Gov. Brian Sandoval’s tax plan is one complete mess. His plan hurts the little guy while providing for special interests. Gov. Sandoval says the plan is for education and the kids. Yet residents continue to pump millions of dollars into the education system in Nevada each and every year...

(Joseph Morabito) – Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) are bad for the Republican Party and America.  RINOs are nothing more than Socialists Lite willing to raise taxes, increase regulations and add to Local, State and National Debt by borrowing to fund Socialist Schemes.

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – Freshman Republican Assemblymen Erv Nelson and Chris Edwards appeared on a local PBS community affairs television show recently and advocated for annual sessions of the Nevada Legislature. As if these people don’t already do enough damage every OTHER year! The reason, according to the pair, is that 120...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – When liberal blogger Jon Ralston is in high dudgeon over something conservatives are doing, you know conservatives must be doing something “right.” Such is the nascent effort to repeal the largest tax hike in Nevada history, recently passed by the Nevada Legislature and signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval…...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – If you want to know the real reason behind RINO Nevada Gov. Brian “America’s Worst Governor” Sandoval’s (R&R Partners) “announcement” this week that he will not be seeking U.S. Sen. Harry Reid’s seat in next year’s election, consider the outrage that continues to pour forth from angry taxpayers...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – Perhaps the only thing Jon Ralston, Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-subsidized-TV-show, hates worse than me, conservative Assemblywoman Michele Fiore and Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald combined is the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. And I guess it’s understandable. The vast majority of candidates for public office who sign the Pledge,...

(Ron Knecht) – Sunday, Assemblyman Erv Nelson and others broke their key election promises to fight huge destructive tax hikes and make state government operate reasonably.  Nelson used glittering generalities and platitudes to explain that he didn’t really understand matters very well back when he made his promises, even though he’s an...
