Tax battles expected to dominate Nevada Legislature in 2021
By SAM METZJanuary 30, 2021 GMT
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) Nevada lawmakers are scheduled to reconvene on Monday for a four-month legislative session, in which they hope to tackle issues sparked by the coronavirus pandemic none more urgent than balancing the state’s budget.
The pandemic’s devastating effect on the economy means lawmakers have less funding to divvy up. It’s left them only undesirable options: They raise taxes, make cuts or bank on a sooner-than-expected recovery yielding more tax revenue than projected.
Democrats enter the session with majorities in both legislative chambers despite losing seats in both in November.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. The Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees took a big step forward in the effluent pipeline and pond lining project during their Thursday meeting.
The board approved a nearly $370,000 contract with Granite Construction for a construction manager at-risk allowing the district to finally move forward on fixing the aging and failing pipeline.
The contract was approved 4-0. Trustee Kendra Wong was sick and unable to attend the meeting but she told Chair Tim Callicrate that she was also in support of the contract.
The board received the final report of the evaluation of district accounting by Moss, Adams.
