NEVADA - MORE TAXES WOULD STOP NEW EMPLOYERS!

KEYSTONE REPORTS
The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce wants to increase taxes on Nevada job creators
 
The Las Vegas Chamber is leading the fight to extend the 100% increase of payroll tax (Modified Business Tax) they championed last session set to sunset this year. Make no mistake this is a tax on Nevada job creators that will prevent businesses from creating new jobs and stimulating our economy. 

Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Members, contact your leadership now and respectfully tell them you will not stand for another tax increase on the backs of Nevada businesses.

Democrats trot out tired tactics on budget

Las Vegas Review Journal

...The Legislature's official calendar counts out the constitutionally capped 120 days of the 2011 session and lists key deadlines for bills. The calendar... also includes a recommended timetable for the state's budgeting process...
 
...Last week's move to put tax foes on the spot through "committee of the whole" meetings was a complete failure. Ginned up protests from the education establishment, such as those held Friday and Saturday, will have no bearing on any budget compromise. College rallies? Long forgotten...
 
...All these tired tactics focus on Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval's proposed budget cuts, his opposition to tax increases and the insistence of Republican lawmakers on supporting him. Assuming Democrats can unify their caucuses in support of the tax increases needed to restore those cuts -- not a sure thing -- they'll need two Republican votes in the Assembly and three in the Senate to pass them with the constitutionally required two-thirds supermajority. Those same votes could override Sandoval's veto...
