State of the State Surprises, Kyle Canyon Eyes Expansion, and R.I.P. to a Lounge Legend
Governor Lombardo delivered his second State of the State address Wednesday night — and lucky for you, we watched it so you don’t have to. Co-host Dayvid Figler is joined by TheList.Vegas creator Andrew Kiraly and political observer Jacob Solis, and they break down Lombardo’s ambitions for Nevada, and whether this foreshadows another showdown with our majority-Democratic legislature this spring. Next up, the team tackles the city’s plan to expand housing development ever closer to Mt. Charleston in the Kyle Canyon neighborhood — it ain’t infill, but is something better than nothing? Lastly, RIP to the legendary, hairy-chested, gold-chain-sporting lounge act Cook E. Jarr. It’s the end of an era in Las Vegas. IYKYK.
