Budget Watch Nevada

They must be reading BudgetWatchNevada up in Carson City. Nevada’s preeminent e-pundit Chuck Muth reported today that “In introducing his executive budget last January, Gov. Gibbons asked for $2.1 million in “one-shot” funds from the budget surplus for the not-yet-open children’s museum in Reno. Lawmakers reached a deal on how to divvy up the pork yesterday, reports the Nevada Appeal today, and the Reno children’s museum will only be getting $1 million in taxpayer dollars, while another $1 million will now go to the children’s museum in Las Vegas.”
For three months my taxpayer advocacy website, www.BudgetWatchNevada.com, has listed pork expenditures and budgetary items in need of being cut. I’ve suggested starving the Department of Cultural Affairs, under which children’s museums would fall, for some time.
Now, if they would just start following more of the recommendations, we’d all be much, much better off.
