    Ghost Army exhibit opens at the Nevada Museum of Art

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    Before D-Day 1944 when the largest Allied assault rushed the beaches of Normandy, the U.S. Army had developed a ruse against the Germans with a little deception of their own.
    The Ghost Army or the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops activated as a unit on Jan. 20, 1944, to deceive the Germans by simulating two divisions that normally consisted of 30,000 men.

  • Lawmakers grill budget officials over ARP funds

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    With 21 months away from a December 2024 deadline to obligate the use of all federal relief funds from the American Rescue Plan, lawmakers questioned officials from the Governor’s Finance Office Monday about the possibility the state could lose out on those funds.

  • From ‘forever chemicals’ to septic tanks, lawmakers weigh new environmental laws

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    About one-third of the way through the 120-day biennial legislative session, lawmakers have introduced dozens of bills affecting the management of water, wildlife and the environment. In this week’s newsletter, we break down some of the major bills pending before state lawmakers. 
    It’s important to note that this list is hardly exhaustive and state lawmakers still have additional opportunities to introduce new bills, even as a major deadline looms next week. This list also does not include several energy-related bills, which I’ll write more about in a future newsletter. 
    But this roundup will hopefully provide some insight into what’s at stake as lawmakers propose a range of policies, from prohibiting the sale of certain products that contain “forever chemicals” to giving the Southern Nevada Water Authority the power to curb excessive water use during Colorado River shortages. 

  • Lawmakers push first bill introduction deadline

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    Bill introductions during floor sessions on the first major deadline of the legislative session wrapped up around 3:15 p.m. March 20.
    That’s because legislative leaders suspended rules requiring legislators’ bills to be introduced by the 43rd day of the session (March 20), instead allowing the Legislative Counsel Bureau’s legal division to keep working throughout last week on drafting measures.

  • How Medicare Advantage could become a marquee issue in Nevada's 2024 Senate race

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    Though the 2024 midterms remain more than 600 days away, early Republican campaign attacks against Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV)  — a swing-state Democrat up for re-election in 2024 —  are centering around a proposed new rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for Medicare Advantage, the capitated Medicare Part C program created in the 1990s that pays private insurers to cover seniors’ health care benefits. Ten days after the State of the Union, the National Republican Senatorial Committee came out with a new ad targeting Rosen over Medicare.

  • Lombardo presents flagship school discipline bill with districts, teacher union in support

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    In a rare move, Gov. Joe Lombardo testified before state lawmakers on Thursday in support of his bill revising a contentious 2019 restorative justice law that school districts and others have said ultimately limited teachers’ ability to deal with disruptive or violent students.

  • Rural libraries will have access to high speed Internet

    Tuesday, March 28, 2023 1:00 AM
    Having reliable Internet access is regarded as a basic necessity these days, but in remote rural areas, it is still difficult to get access. According to the Federal Communications Commission, “In rural areas, nearly one-fourth of the population —14.5 million people—lack access to this service.”
    On March 20, Humboldt County Librarian Jessica Anderson asked the Humboldt County Board of Commissioners to approve a request for a project that would give fiber Internet access to the McDermitt and Denio library branches. The request was approved in a split-vote, (4-1) with Commissioner Tom Hoss in opposition.

  • Backyard Fruit Tree Care

    Tuesday, March 21, 2023 1:00 AM
    Growing fruit crops in the home garden can be a rewarding experience and a source of enjoyment for many years. 
    It can also be a disappointing venture and a source of frustration. The difference is most often due to the many diseases and insect pests that attack fruit crops and in understanding how to best avoid or reduce the damage, they cause.
