Partnership Carson City advises the community on issues of health and well-being for youth and families. In this year’s election, Nevada voters will consider an initiative that would legalize marijuana. That initiative is known as Question 2. The Steering Committee of Partnership Carson City urges all voters to review the details of this proposal and consider the immediate and long-term impacts it may have on our community before making this important choice.

CARSON CITY — A supermajority of Nevada lawmakers on Friday pushed through legislation that will raise the room tax in Clark County to help finance a 65,000-seat domed stadium, clearing the path for the relocation of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas.

CARSON CITY — A public financing plan for a $1.9 billion NFL stadium in Las Vegas cleared its first legislative hurdle Tuesday night with 16 senators voting for the deal and five against it.

On Monday, October 10, 2016, a group of concerned Nevada citizens will protest the special session called by Nevada’s Republican Governor, Brian Sandoval, to approve raising $750 million in room tax revenue to subsidize a stadium for the NFL's Raider's.

According to the article “Governor Call Special Session for Monday,” published in the Reno Gazette Journal, dated October 5, 2016, the proposed amount of $750,000,000 is the largest amount ever put forth for consideration by taxpayers in the history of the publicly funded stadiums.

After months of speculation and political posturing, the Legislature will finally decide in the coming days whether to give $750 million in public money to build a football stadium in Las Vegas to try and woo the Oakland Raiders.

Nevada Leaders Oppose Question 2:

“As Governor and a former Federal Judge, I have seen first-hand the negative effects that marijuana for recreational purposes can have on our state and our communities. Proponents of this measure claim it will help education, it will not. What it will do is create health and safety problems that Nevada cannot afford. Legalizing marijuana would have devastating consequences for our state and for Nevada families and I would ask that voters join with me and Vote No on 2 when they head to the polls this fall.” – Governor Brian Sandoval
