It’s our open mic show on Monday. Your thoughts and ideas are the focus, but here are a few things to think about:
Do you like the idea of $100 million in tax incentives each year for 17 years to entice the Hollywood movie machine to Nevada?
Another tax incentive plan is the $380 million in state money and bonds for the Oakland Athletics to build a stadium on the Las Vegas Strip. Of course, if the stadium doesn’t collect enough money to pay off the bonds, Clark County taxpayers will do it.
Over the last few weeks, we talked to developers about what some see as the third phase of redevelopment in the urban core of Las Vegas. A 3,000-unit complex is planned downtown. More apartments from different developers are promised. Would you live there?
And there’s so much more to talk about. The kids being convicted of the beating death of the Rancho High Schooler last year. And maybe for the first time in decades of water dealings, we heard hostility from northern basin states, saying no way they’re giving up water; they’re leaving it up to California, Arizona and Nevada to make the massive water cuts needed by 2026.
And as always, there’s our roads. It’s not juts the traffic anymore.
