.@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.

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.
Last night, @GovSisolak said he's giving his all "to continue to walk this tightrope between your personal health and your financial sustainability."
This is his biggest mistake. There's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone values those things differently.
That's why -- unless hospitals are on the verge of being overwhelmed -- people should be free to make those decisions for themselves.
People should balance those things differently too. The risk poised by coronavirus varies widely from person to person, based on age and underlying health conditions.
