Can Vegas Solve Its Water Crisis? Plus, the Problem With Voting for Judges
The water crisis has been top of mind for many of us here in the valley, so we caught up with Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Alan Halaly to dig into some potential solutions officials have been mulling to secure our water future. Then writer and criminal defense attorney Dayvid Figler joins Jesse Merrick to break down which judicial races deserve your attention before Election Day and why these lower-profile contests matter more than most voters realize. We close out the week with Good News Friday. And in our members-only bonus segment, we take a look at Nevada’s corporal punishment laws and get into why it might be time to rethink how Metro approaches alleged child abuse cases.
