The House Ways and Means Committee reported out House Resolution 1105 “Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015” by a vote of 22 to 10.

UPDATE 1:05PM: A 22-year-old Carson City man faces felony charges after he allegedly beat a pregnant woman with a rock, released a pit bull on responding officers and then stabbed himself in the neck. The victim in the battery was being treated for non life-threatening injuries, said Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong.

The suspect, Jordan Webber, was flown by Care Flight to Renown Medical Center in Reno. He was to appear in Carson City court today on domestic battery charges, said Furlong. The Carson City Sheriff’s Office responded Tuesday morning, 11:25 a.m. to a report of a violent domestic battery actively taking place at the 2300 block of Dori Way in northeast Carson City.

The hysterical reporting female informed dispatchers that a man was attacking a pregnant female with a knife. She believed the victim was being stabbed repeatedly and her throat had been “slit” in the back yard of the residence.

A 19-year-old Carson City man was arrested Tuesday, 12:29 a.m. in the 400 block of West Winnie on a misdemeanor charge, possession of drug paraphernalia, a Carson City sheriff’s deputy said.

Clarity levels at Lake Tahoe in 2014 showed the biggest improvements in more than a decade, according to researchers Tuesday at the University of California, Davis, who have studied the lake for the last half century.

The improvements are in part due to continuous work from the Lake Tahoe community to lower pollutants to the lake. They were also influenced by the drought, as reduced precipitation meant fewer contaminants flowed into Lake Tahoe, particularly during the summer, when clarity levels were the highest recorded since 2002.
