NEVADA AX THE TAX UPDATE
The Nevada Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for
May 2nd on the Big Gaming/Sandoval appeal of the district court decision
green-lighting the citizen referendum on the gross margins tax passed by the
Legislature last year.
If we’re lucky, we may get a decision and final approval by
the end of May.
The drop-dead date for turning in signatures is June 21.
Talk about cutting it close!
However…
As I pointed out to State Controller Ron Knecht in a call about the effort yesterday afternoon, the
Nevada primary election will be held one week BEFORE the deadline to
turn in signatures. And in 2012, the
last primary election in a presidential election year, almost 200,000 voters
turned out.
To qualify the referendum on the margins tax, supporters
need about 55,000 signatures.
And while I recognize that it would be a “Hail Mary,” it’s
not out of the question that referendum supporters could get more than enough
signatures on primary election day alone if a grassroots, volunteer
signature-gathering effort is highly organized and flawlessly executed.
I know…a big *if.”
But remember…it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
Cheers.
