For the past three weeks, we have been driving around the rural areas of Nevada. We were up in Elko, we were in Fernley, and Fallon. We spent the day in Virginia City. Last night we were in Minden. We aren’t done yet. Nevada is a huge state, and we will be all over it in the next few months.
I think it’s important to get to the people and see them in person. You learn a lot by being on the ground in a place rather than sitting at your desk. I remember my friend Dick Duchossois telling me to always inspect what you don’t expect.
When he was a tank destroyer captain in WW2, he didn’t inspect a battlefield beforehand, and it cost him dearly.
Here is what we have heard. Feel free to add your concerns in the comments.
Development. Too much or too little? Some folks do not want development. Others are excited about the boom in precious metals and mining.
Geothermal. Should Nevada build more, and where?
Cryptocurrency. Everyone is interested in it, but few understand it.
How do we pay for infrastructure improvements?
Taxes. Decrease fees!
Regulations. Decrease regulations. Nevada, despite being 0% tax is highly regulated.
Very wary of Nevada Democrats mumbling they are moderates when in reality they aren’t. See what happened in Virginia.
Education. Everyone wants school choice.
Medical. How do we improve it?
Cost of gasoline! What can we do to stop relying so much on California?
Voter ID. Everyone, to a person, even Democrats I run into in rural counties, wants voter id. VOTE YES ON QUESTION 7 THIS NOVEMBER. Big tip of the hat to David Gibbs, who spearheaded the effort last election cycle and got over 70% approval, and is doing it again.
No men in women’s sports. People all over the state want this to happen. They want it in law. You will have to show up and vote on it in November since Governor Lombardo put the issue on the ballot.
People are worried about the states’ finances. Nevada is a 0% tax state. They don’t mind paying sales tax, but don’t want it to be increased either.
There are things we can do on Day 1 in the treasurer’s office to bring some short-term relief. Longer term, we can modernize the office, professionalize the office, and create a lot of gains for taxpayers with little cash outlay.
Things are rapidly changing in finance. The next ten years will see big evolutions. If you haven’t gotten your hands dirty working with them as I have, Nevada will see another litany of missed opportunities like they have in the past several years.
Just staying the course will cost taxpayers money. Support us here: JeffCarterNV.com
