Ron Knecht) – This is full disclosure for my readers, but really a celebration of one of the best things about Nevada and my good fortune to become a part of it. Recently, John Tsarpalas, President of the Nevada Policy Research Institute asked me to join that public interest group in some capacity.
More than honored, I was thrilled. We discussed it briefly, and I became Senior Policy Advisor at NPRI. Let’s start with their mission statement:
“Nevada Policy’s mission is to effectively promote policies that encourage free-market solutions, protect individual liberties, and eliminate unnecessary governmental restrictions on the citizens and businesses of Nevada.

Robert Davis) – Nevada’s Assembly Committee on Government Affairs heard testimony on Tuesday on a bill that would exempt certain small construction projects for state agencies from paying prevailing wages.
Assembly Bill 99 was introduced by Assemblyman John Ellison, R-Elko, in February. The bill would increase the minimum value required to pay prevailing wages on projects of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) from $100,000 to $250,000.
Ellison described the bill as a way to spur growth for small jobs like fixing sidewalks and potholes, and other projects that he says contractors aren’t bidding on.
“You cannot construct a building for less than $100,000, these are small projects, like rebuilding a small stretch of sidewalk,” Ellison said.
