According to Yahoo! Finance, Nevada is behind only California, Arizona, and Florida in terms of total state budget shortfall.
Nevada’s budget gap is 16% of the total state budget or $1.2 billion.
Nevada has the worst foreclosure rate in the nation, and falling tourism and gambling revenues has slowed the economy dramatically.
A special legislative session in June resulted in budget caps and cuts, but it’s quite likely another special session will have to be called – after the elections in November.

My friend Mike Connell, owner of Connell Outdoor Advertising Co., would like to let all Nevada’s candidates know he has billboard space available between now and the November elections. With tight races in a number of districts, it sure wouldn’t hurt to have some extra signage in some highly visible places around Nevada.
Email him at connellco@cox.net or give him a call at (702)795-0555 — and mention that E!! sent you!
