Nevada Taxpayers should have the Last Word on Largest Tax Hike in history
In 2009, the Nevada Legislature passed a series of “temporary” tax hikes totaling in excess of $600 million. The people of Nevada were promised that those tax hikes would expire, “sunset,” in two years. Instead, the Legislature extended those tax hikes for an additional two years in both 2011 and 2013.

Conservatives pursuing two-pronged, scorched-Earth war on Tax Hike
Nevadans all across the state are “fioreous” over the recently passed largest tax hike in Nevada’s history – including the creation of a new gross receipts tax very similar to the one Nevada voters overwhelmingly rejected last November by almost 80 percent!

The Dirty Dozen and Sellout Seven
Republicans this legislative session had 100 percent control of Nevada’s government for the first time since 1929. They used it in the Assembly on Sunday to shove, by a vote of 30-10, the largest tax increase in Nevada’s history down our collective throats and up our collective wazoos.
