With Lombardo's veto threat, what will get done in the last week of the Nevada Legislature?

Nevada scored poorly in a new report on integrity in state government.

Nevada scored poorly in a new report on integrity in state government.

Over the last four months, Nevada lawmakers have done a lot, and whether that’s good or bad depends on your perspective.

There’s a tax package for an Oakland Athletics stadium on the Strip; another tax deal to draw movie productions to Las Vegas. There’s $2 billion more for public schools.

But now there’s the governor’s threat that he’ll veto the overall budget if he doesn’t get, among other things, taxpayer dollars for private schools.

So how much will realistically get done in a week?
