Lots of smiles during last night's signing of the big budget bills for Nevada, including

to fund Nevada's K-12 schools. BUT, X marks the spot on all those who voted NO to fund our schools but showed up to smile and take credit for it.

So far, the majority of the opposition to

- From NEVADANS
- From teachers and support staff in our schools

Lots floating around about the

@Athletics
deal. Here's what we know:
From state:
- $180 million in transferable tax credits, 50% refundable
From Clark County
- $120 million in bonds (depending on interest rates)
- 30-year property tax exemption
- $25 million infastructure
Just your friendly reminder that when a Republican (i.e.
@AdamLaxalt
@JoeLombardoNV
) says your taxes will go up, they're getting their talking points directly from the billionaire elites propping up their campaigns! Weird for a party that claims to support the working class, huh?
On leaked audio, the RNC chair told donors to pony up for GOP candidates, Politico reports. But there's another striking revelation: Billionaire Steve Wynn urged Rs to claim Dem tax policies aimed at rich people like him will hurt waiters and bartenders.

So, in Oakland, A's President Dave Kaval was committed to building a privately-owned ballpark ... now, he needs a near-half-a-million handout from the state and Clark County to get his ballpark built?
Make it make sense.

Public funding for a private stadium is and has always been a bad idea. The Oakland A’s are the second team coming into Nevada asking the public to foot the bill to build a stadium. This is nothing but corporate welfare no matter how many amendments they add.

#athletics
bill. The bill is still in the Senate. In order for Assemblymembers to ask questions about the bill, we will be doing an informational presentation on the topics contained within the bill tomorrow in the Assembly chamber.
Nevada lawmakers were scheduled to return to Carson City after a weekend break to resume consideration of a bill to provide $380 million in public funding for a proposed Oakland A’s baseball stadium.
YOU might stand with the disgusting treatment by
@GovAbbott
but real Nevadans believe in treating ALL people with dignity.
When the most conservative SCOTUS in history is against your actions, maybe you're being TOO extreme?

Nevada stands with Texas and
