People walk along the Las Vegas Strip by cooling misters Thursday, July 13, 2023, in Las Vegas.

Nevada’s lawmakers have two months left to carve out a budget. In doing so, what new laws will they create? What do you want them to do?

Is it red light cameras? Water restrictions for developments? Funding to help people finance a home in an increasingly challenging housing market?

At the federal level, the Trump Administration makes moves almost daily. Nevada’s two U.S. Senators are democrats; do you want them to speak out more on some of these moves?

How do you feel about the direction this state seems to be moving? Or this country?

Are you feeling good about Nevada’s main industry, tourism? International travelers to Las Vegas fell 20% in February compared to the month before. Why do you think that’s happening?
