“(Reuters) – Republican Governor Brian Sandoval called on Thursday for robust investment in education that would be paid for by tax increases in a state budget that will most likely contrast with the agendas of Nevada’s fiscal conservatives. Sandoval, during his State of the State address, outlined $7.3 billion of general fund spending over two years, a 12 percent increase over the current budget. His proposal included $882 million in education, a modification to the state’s business license fee, and a permanent tax increase.”(more)
