In the 2023 Legislature, small Storey County, 30 miles east of the Reno-Sparks area, won a major battle with some lawmakers in neighboring county and city governments. A coalition of some Northern Nevada lawmakers, first supported by Gov. Joe Lombardo, proposed to siphon off about 80 percent of the $50 million in annual taxes from the Tesla Gigafactory at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center that were due to Storey County when Tesla’s 10-year state tax abatements expired at the end of 2024.

The Legislature may need to be called into a special session to shore up funding for a state account used for emergencies and unexpected costs that could run out of money, the governor’s office said. The state is able to transfer money from certain accounts to others, but a key emergency reserve fund responsible for replenishing another account (that is low on money) is also running low on funds.
Nevada will pay $1.35 million to the estate of a former prisoner whose 2018 suicide while incarcerated led to allegations of negligence and a wrongful death lawsuit. Melody Morgan died by suicide at the age of 25 while incarcerated at the state-run Florence McClure Women’s Correctional Center in North Las Vegas. She had suffered from seizures, migraines, bipolar disorder, multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia, and had three psychiatric hospitalizations, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed in 2021 that described her as a creative person who was especially close with her mother and sister.
There are just over 70 days left for supporters of a proposed referendum to overturn the public financing deal bringing the Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas to gather the signatures necessary to get the measure on the ballot, but just how the language will be presented to voters is now in the hands of the seven-member Nevada Supreme Court. Tuesday saw roughly an hour of arguments from attorneys representing the Schools Over Stadium political action committee, which was organized by the Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) and proposed the referendum, and attorneys representing labor leaders opposing it.
In March, NCAA President Charlie Baker said the organization was asking state gaming regulators nationwide to ban proposition wagering, or prop bets, on college athletes because of evidence that gamblers are harassing collegiate players, both online and at games. “Oh, yeah, it happens all the time,’’ Purdue center Zach Edey told The Athletic. This month, Louisiana became the 12th state to enact the ban. It won’t be the last. Minnesota, one of five states where lawmakers are actively considering sports betting legalization, would ban the activity, which allows fans to wager through mobile accounts on aspects of a player’s performance during games — total rebounds or points scored for a basketball player; total touchdowns scored or total yards gained for a football player.
