Was the money (and still continuing ) put in the General Fund and used for other purposes? The County Commissioners wanted that but wrote a letter saying the money would STRICTLY BE USED FOR POLICE. I'd bet a Dollar to a DONUT it went for RAISES rather than for EXPANSION! Just like the school money,,,RAISES WERE GIVEN and to heck with student needs! The USUAL Liberal way.

What a lie. Tell that to the musicians who lost their jobs due to Dina Taxus 10% live entertainment tax. Tell that to all of the homeowners who got socked with extra property taxes, tell that to every Nevadan who pays the highest license plate fees in the US with the most unfair method of valueing a car I've ever heard of.

I smell Titus and her buddies on that one. She's right on one thing, voters here largely are at the bottom of the intelligence list anyway if they believe our schools are in any way "underfunded" And I love the $0.60 cent allotment to raise the $0.40 - brilliant.

Whether it is raising taxes or an attempt to fix pricing, the economic equation will always adjust to counteract those events. Raising taxes will result in a combination of a) Reducing the value of product to the customer and/or b) Increasing the cost of the product to the customer and/or c) Eliminating that product from the market (business goes out-of-business) and/or d) Encourages the development of an underground black market that bypasses the tax Government attempts to fix pricing almost always a) Rations an inferior version pf the product to a select group of customers b) Encourages the development of an underground black market that bypasses the price fix Big government believers always are dumbfounded when they think they change one part of the economic equation and then think they can overrule the natural economic forces that are in play.
