What Lawmakers Did About Housing, Schools & Death
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?
