This year’s legislative session felt particularly grueling, with the addition of not just one, but two hotly-debated special sessions tacked on to the end of our constitutionally-mandated 120 days of deliberation. Lawmakers passed over 600 bills, and Governor Lombardo vetoed a record-breaking 75 of them. So what exactly did our lawmakers get done up in Carson City for us down here in Las Vegas? Today, co-host Dayvid Figler chats with contributor and Nevada Current reporter April Corbin Girnus about the bills passed this session that will have the biggest impact on those of us down here in Southern Nevada. Plus: With our GOP governor and Democratic legislature, what does all the horse trading and political jockeying say about the future of our divided government?


Did we miss anything? Was there a bill you were following that you hoped would pass? Let us know on social media  @CityCastVegas on Twitter and Instagram. You can also share your thoughts with us on this legislative session by leaving us a voicemail at 702-514-0719.
