Stay informed, get involved, and hear the stories behind the headlines on ReformCast.

Rob is back from a long medical leave but unpacks the latest happenings in Clark County. The first issue is the County Council, which has refused to add more deputies from the County budget, finally approves 21 new deputies, but with a catch... a new tax. So, instead of prioritizing public safety in the County's budget, despite raising property taxes, the Sheriff had to resort to a new tax to help scratch the surface of the problem. Next, Rob tackles the excessive new contract and raise given to the County Manager, even though the County is running a structural deficit and denied hiring more deputies out of the budget, they decided to give the County Manager a big raise (again). Lastly, the Charter Review is making some good, bad, and ugly Charter amendment proposals. Rob breaks down the details.
