2014 Nevada ballot issues will be discussed at the monthly Carson City Women’s Democratic Club meeting which will be held this Saturday, Aug. 9 at 502 E. John St. in Carson City. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. with a continental breakfast and speakers begin at 10 a.m. The public is encouraged to attend.
Featured speakers will discuss ballot questions 1 and 3.
Question 1 will be addressed by Supreme Court Justice James Hardesty. He will explain and ballot issue and answer questions about the appellate court measure. Question 1 seeks to establish a three-judge appellate court in the State of Nevada.
Question 3 will be addressed from the perspective of Bill Chernock, Executive Director of the Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Authority. Question 3 states; Shall the Nevada Revised Statutes be amended to create a 2 percent tax to be imposed on a margin of the gross revenue of entities doing business in Nevada whose total revenue for any taxable year exceeds $1 million, with the proceeds of the tax going to the State Distributive School Account to be apportioned among Nevada’s school districts and charter schools? Mr. Chernock will present concerns from the perspective of someone who’s on the ground, talking to local and prospective businesses.
TEI has been contacted to represent proponents of the issue, and should have a representative at the meeting to speak in support.
