GOP Rules Political Scene In Nevada -- So, Now What?

For the first time since 1929, Republicans are in charge of Nevada's state Senate, Assembly and Governor's office.

They have no easy task set before them -- Nevada's schools are ranked at the bottom nationally, and the economy relies upon gaming, which also suffered greatly during the recession.

Along with the newfound power of the GOP comes with a watchful eye. People want to know what will be done to improve Nevada's fortunes -- and are wondering how it's going to be done.

KNPR's State of Nevada talks to legislative and union leaders, as well as an advisor to Gov. Brian Sandoval.

GUESTS

Danny Thompson, executive secretary treasurer, Nevada AFL-CIO

Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Nevada Assemblywoman

Kyle Roerink, reporter, Las Vegas Sun

Jim Wheeler, Nevada Assemblyman

Peter Ernaut, advisor to Gov. Brian Sandoval
