Dear
Friends,
This
session has been a
series of unfortunate events. We have seen several good gun bills killed
for no
good reason and the largest tax hike proposal in Nevada history, all of
this
coming out of a session with a Republican majority in both houses AND a
Republican Governor.
It is
disheartening to me how
many elected officials are not thinking about their constituents when they
cast
their votes; instead they play favorites. I have to say, Chairman Ira
Hansen is
one of the good legislators, and he deserves our thanks. As Chairman of the
Assembly Judiciary Committee, he has worked so hard to ensure that our
voices
are heard and our campus carry bill will continue forward this session,
despite
some legislators being determined to kill it.
All too
often representatives
run for office with the promise that they will not raise taxes, but soon
after
being elected they break this vow. A great way for constituents to know
that
their elected officials are being transparent is for them to sign the
Taxpayer
Protection Pledge. I am proud to be 1 of
the 10 Nevada Assembly Members who has taken, and stayed true to, this
public
oath.
You can see
a complete list
of 2015 Tax Pledge signers here.
If you
missed “Walk the Talk
with Michele Fiore” Saturday morning you can listen to it
here.
This week on the show
we took a deeper look into the newly amended tax bill, AB 464, and what
this
bill does to Nevada businesses. We also discussed my interview with Fox 5
pertaining to the 381 million dollars that the Nevada schools could not
account
for in a recent audit.
This past
weekend I got to
spend some quality time with my grandchildren: Jake, Jayden, Morrigan and
Mara.
We celebrated one of my grand-princesses, Jayden, turning 2. Spending time
with
my family is always a great reminder of why the work we are doing in Carson
City is so important.

I am
committed to standing up
for my family and my constituents. The legislation that is passed this
session
should always be beneficial to Nevadans.
Before
closing, I wanted to
recommend a great trilogy that I recently watched, Atlas Shrugged. You can
read
more about the movies and purchase them here.
