A must read from @danagentrylv.bsky.social on the ongoing culture of corruption in Nevada. #nvleg

“If Hollywood is the emergency, then Nevada leaders have lost the plot, and if tone deafness were taxable, perhaps our schools would be fully funded,” said Alexander Marks, Deputy Executive Director at @nsea.bsky.social. Senators ultimately agreed, rejecting the bill over similar concerns.” #NVleg

A vote for Assembly Bill 5 is a vote to cut education. #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg

And what’s crazy is that the democrats leading the effort to blow a giant hole in the budget are all leaving and not running for re-election! #NVLeg

It took 120 days, but we finally got Republican Assemblymember Gregory Koenig on the record urging his #NVLeg colleagues to #PassThePlan.

The plan is dead. Long live the plan! #PassThePlan #NVLeg

Today may be the last good chance to tell lawmakers to #PassThePlan. Governor Lombardo's $2 budget and Blame bill both up in Assembly Ways. youtube.com/watch?v=QZw4... @nsea.bsky.social

Update: due to a tech issues in the building, AB584 will be heard this Thursday. Keep sending those letters until then!

Let’s be clear: While these monies are needed to *maintain* educator pay at their current levels, this is not new money. All this action did was prevent a pay cut. #NVLeg

The NEA's Rankings of the States 2024 and Estimates of School Statistics 2025 were released today, and once again, Nevada has the largest class sizes in the nation. This is the direct result of years of chronic underfunding and neglecting this critical issue. #NVLeg

What's actually being "handed out" is just $2 per student in the Governor’s budget. Two dollars doesn’t cover increasing costs, including a 3.25% increase in PERS coming this summer. And it probably also means little or no increases for Nevada educators.

Here’s @alexandermarks.bsky.social talking about this post. #PassThePlan

I guess Chicos Bail Bonds was unavailable

So, I'm on this Lobbyist training, and someone (not me or @superdaly.bsky.social surprisingly) asked why Jeremy Aguero did not have to register as a lobbyist last session when he lobbied for the A's stadium. Kevin Powers dodged. Way back in July of 2023, we sent the LCB letter about this issue.

I’ve been thinking Summerlin is in desperate need of massive state subsidies. Let’s drop $1.3B to turn the place around!

In a recent hearing, Governor Lombardo said funding will increase by just $2 per pupil. Of course, $2 won't keep up with increasing costs. Two dollars won’t cover most items on a typical elementary school classroom supply list!  We're here at the #NVleg to tell them to #PassThePlan

This morning, NSEA provided public comment at the State Board of Education. This upcoming #NVLeg Session presents an opportunity to address critical issues like optimal funding, class size reduction, and universal free school meals. www.nsea-nv.org/resource-lib...

The Senate just passed H.R. 82 (The Social Security Fairness Act) 76-20. This was a tremendous team effort. We finally repealed GPO and WEP, the unfair penalties that denied retired educators, first responders, and other public service workers their full Social Security benefits.

Lawmakers promised the new funding formula would be significantly less complicated and more transparent than the antiquated one it replaced. As it turns out, it’s not less complicated and this path of a proprietary algorithm is clearly less transparent. #nvleg nevadacurrent.com/2024/12/20/l...

Back in my hotel, just to wrap up and say that we’re still at what I’ve been saying all along, will the Fishers get cold feet when it comes time to toss $1.1 billion in cash into an irrevocable trust without any other limited partners?

Back in August, #SchoolsOverStadiums submitted a public records request to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority for documents related to the financing of the A’s stadium. In October, they said they needed more time. Well, they just kicked the can down the road again… #SellTheTeam

The next chapter…
