The result is fewer jobs and a decline in the Nevada economy. For what? To give the educational administrators big salaries?

Instead, let's get the Nevada Development Authority to stop trying to bring new businesses into our state, fine people who are here illegally and increase taxes on items such as gasoline that contribute to the problems I mentioned above.

These taxes would result in 2 things; higher prices charged to the customers and lower wages paid to the employees. This state enticed businesses with their no corporate tax appeal and individuals with their no state income tax advantage. But as we can see state income tax or not, this area still commands a high cost of living. The out of control growth this city has experienced over the years hit more than just the cost of housing. The underlying problem is wages have not kept pace, start throwing more taxes at businesses and people and watch things get worse. Perhaps a better solution would be to start some internal house cleaning and improve the efficiency of government entities.
