It is now the eve of the 75th convening of the Nevada Legislature. But don’t get too excited, kids! Tomorrow will be a day of glad-handing and back-slapping and silly grinning.
Anyone waiting for actual state business to be done will have to wait (at least) until Tuesday. Longer, probably, since the the Dems still have not put forth a comprehensive budget proposal, and it’s going to be more than a 5 minute job to solve our $600 million budget shortfall.
Even then, with the Dem super-majority in the Assembly, the best that minority leader Heidi Gansert will be able to do is convince her team that supporting tax-and-spend policies is bad for their electoral futures. And if they don’t believe her and choose to join the Dems in a “bi-partisan” action, I’m guessing it’ll be D-Day for them in 2010.
Update: Steve Sebellius has the Democrat “plan” – all two vague-sounding, double-spaced, extra large font pages of it – here.
