.@GovSisolak says budget hole is down to $1.2 billion. Has released a preview of his proposals. Will thread my thoughts here.
Good graphic showing extent of the financial devastation caused by coronavirus and @GovSisolak's prolonged shutdown order.
$190 million from NSHE. $166 million from #nved, including gutting Read by 3 ($31 million) and $70 million from the new education funding plan.
That is an incredibly light touch to #nved given the circumstances. Losing Read by 3 would be a shame, especially since #nvleg has already eliminated the retention portion of the program.
$233 million from DHHS, including a 6% reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates.
.@GovSisolak says his plan will balance the budget without raising taxes.

It is amazing how @KamalaHarris tells outright falsehoods about @realDonaldTrump and the media ignores it. Here are some from her speech in Las Vegas.
Claim: "He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare."
Trump: "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."
Harris: "He intends to end the Affordable Care Act," specifically to "take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions."
Trump, as president: Signed an executive order to "affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with preexisting conditions."
Harris: "He talks a big game about border security, but he does not walk the walk."
During the Biden/Harris administration, illegal immigration was hit record highs while it was much lower during the Trump administration. When there was a surge during Trump's tenure, he quickly brought it down.
Don’t think a court loss means there’s no proof of voter fraud. The District Court didn’t engage with the names submitted by Trump campaign of double dead and out of state voters. It cited an “expert” who studied previous Nevada elections, but not the 2020 general.
The tens of thousands of potentially illegal voters is still an unknown. Illegal voting on that scale was possible given the rapid shift to mail ballots and signature verification being a joke.
But Trump campaign needs to put out those lists to allow others to investigate.
Three days ago, King @GovSisolak hyperventilated that @realDonaldTrump's rallies doomed Nevada to a deadly increase in coronavirus cases. Now, Sisolak is suggesting that he wants to relax restrictions on ... gatherings.
Yesterday, @RalstonReports publicly attacked, mocked and said he muted @OyVegas, a columnist for the Indy, which Jon runs. What a great editor.
.@OyVegas committed the most heinous thought crime of all. He suggested that something I wrote wasn’t completely wrong (although Dayvid was quick to point out what he disagreed with).
I’m sorry @OyVegas. That’s not allowed. You must not interrupt the two minutes of hate with independent thinking.
