I could never vote for Porter. He has done nothing substantial for this state. Please review the debates with Dina Titus. It's Harry Reid. He understands the needs of Nevada, and he will be a phone call away from the President.

Hey KDR81

Which hat did you pull that number from?

I rather cite a reference from wikipedia than npri.

Posted on: The unpopular, endlessly debated truth about taxes

As reported, "Late last week, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce touted that a report it commissioned found Nevada's tax system to be relatively stable. The tax system isn't to blame for the state budget crisis, the economy is, the chamber said."

Our tax system is responsible for the high degree of volatility during economic contractions, because state services like education rely too heavily on a few industries such as tourism. It's high time the chamber engages meaningful discussions with leaders and the public to develop viable solutions to soften the "boom and bust cycle". To pretend or ignore there's no problems with Nevada's tax structure is unethical and irresponsible to the future progress of Nevada's Education System and other state needs.

Is that the same Beers who now feels indebted to UNLV when just last year he was against increasing the funding for the university? (The so-called decrease in the increase debacle) He didn't understand the needs of Nevada's Education System then. It's unlikely he gets it now.
