CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Analysts predict continued recovery and good times ahead for Nevada's economy.
The mostly sunny outlook came Friday during the twice-yearly meeting of the Economic Forum, which projects the state's revenue and helps lawmakers set a budget for the next two years.
The five-member panel met in December and predicted the state's tax streams would bring in $6.3 billion from mid-2015 to mid-2017. They are expected to refine that number at the end of their day-long meeting Friday.
Gov. Brian Sandoval has proposed extending expiring taxes and restructuring other ones to raise an extra $1.1 billion over existing projections.
Lawmakers have been waiting for the Economic Forum's predictions so they can decide which programs they want to fund and how much new money they need to raise to meet those goals
