CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak is facing criticism from political opponents for weighing in about reopening decisions that he promised months ago to delegate to county officials.
The first-term Democrat convened a news conference on Tuesday evening to announce that he’s confident all of the state’s counties will be able to reopen at 100% capacity by June 1 a declaration his critics called politically motivated because local officials will assume control on May 1.
“We have been vigilant, thoughtful and deliberative in our decision-making process always listening to science and doing everything we can to balance the health and safety of Nevadans with the economic impacts of this pandemic,” Sisolak told reporters.
