CARSON CITY, Nev. — Gov. Steve Sisolak fired back Tuesday at those wanting him to begin reopening Nevada's economy, making it abundantly ...

The Assembly Republican Caucus addressed its plan Monday to reopen Nevada, proposing a framework, establishing a regional plan and a bi-partisan task force to advise on a strategy.
