(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – I’m gonna give you just a quick update because the whole family and some of the kids’ friends drove up to Carson City yesterday and we’re heading out to the pumpkin patch at Lattin Farms in Fallon this morning… 1.)  Despite Judge Jerry Wiese of the 8th Judicial...

Nothing is more effective in identifying which lawmakers will honor their word on taxes (Victor Joecks, NPRI) – In their book Switch: How to change things when change is hard, brothers Chip and Dan Heath identify three factors that influence how individuals make decisions — willpower, emotions, and situation. The Heaths use the...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – By now everyone knows that 80 percent of Nevada voters voted against the Margins Tax last November and that Gov. Brian Sandoval’s “Commerce Tax” is just a mutated version of it.  But here are some things many folks either aren’t aware of or are forgetting about the...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – It’s not just Nevada that has a gaggle of very bad Republicans in its Legislature.  Missouri just witnessed a sellout of philosophical principle that ranks right up there with the 2015 GOP-controlled Nevada Legislature. On the other hand, California Republicans, surprisingly enough, are the ones setting the good...

(Steve Sebelius, Las Vegas Review-Journal) – So it’s the We Decide Coalition versus the Coalition for Nevada’s Future, then.

Brian Sandoval showed “great restraint and balance” and “responsible management” and will “secure a better future for our community and our children.” That’s...

A group of people calling themselves the We Decide Coalition has filed an initiative petition with the Nevada Secretary of State that would give voters a chance to repeal the $1.4 billion in tax hikes passed by the 2015 Legislature at the behest of Gov. Brian...

(Steve Sebelius, Las Vegas Review-Journal) – “The people of the state of Nevada do enact as follows: NRS 295.001(1) and NRS 295.009(3) are hereby repealed.” If you wanted to propose erasing the infamous single-subject requirement that has torpedoed many a ballot initiative in Nevada, that one line is all you’d need to do...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – In 2009, the Nevada Legislature passed a series of “temporary” tax hikes totaling in excess of $600 million.  The people of Nevada were promised that those tax hikes would expire, “sunset,” in two years. Instead, the Legislature extended those tax hikes for an additional two years in both 2011...
