While we appreciate Governor Lombardo giving @nsea.bsky.social credit for helping to kill the #HollywoodHandout, we think he should place more blame on Jeremy Aguero, an unregistered lobbyist, who clearly didn't lobby hard enough behind the scenes to discredit the non-partisan fiscal staff. #NVLeg

Sadly, Governor Lombardo is offended that we'd prefer public money to go into public education. His state is ranked 48th in per pupil funding with the largest class sizes in the nation. Education is economic development, and it's a better investment than hollywood movie studios. #NVleg

The money used to put on seven days of Lombardo’s special session could’ve provided relief for all these issues, but instead, we’re paying for the Legislature to debate handing over $1.8 billion to the film industry. #NVLeg

This is the type of crisis that merits a special session. The budget impacts of transferable tax credits are real. Every dollar spent on one of these flashy but fiscally reckless projects is a dollar we don’t see in our schools.

After the #NVLeg passed a $2 per pupil increase, NSEA locals negotiated contracts across the state. Most locals asked for modest increases to help keep pace with the cost of living (up over 3%). Districts responded there was no way for them to offer COLAs with no increases from the state.
