Nevada's Future?
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
As we look into the crystal ball of Nevada's future and we evaluate the work that needs to be accomplished in the 2010 election, this presentation by Congressman Tom McClintock, posted on Nevada Taxpayer Guide serves as a stark reality shock on what we must address. With the make up of the Nevada Legislature and the political party that was in the majority during the 2009 Nevada legislative session, the examples of what has happened in California could very easily be the situation for Nevada.
Unless meaningful progress is made in bringing at least 15 members to the Nevada Assembly who are not locked in to the concepts of further increases to state spending and further expansion of the taxes that are extracted from the private sector to fund the state bureaucracies -- we could slip closer to this outcome. We simply must identify and support candidates for the 2010 election who we can count on to stand up for Nevada taxpayers. We must also work diligently to make the increases in state spending and expansion of taxes issues as toxic as possible, demonstrating that while legislators may not hear us when they get behind their closed doors in the legislative building, they might be able to hear better when we get into voting booths.
