Sandoval puts focus on education
By Kyle Roerink, Las Vegas Sun
In his third and most ambitious State of the State speech, Gov. Brian Sandoval unveiled a litany of education initiatives and tax reforms he wants the Legislature to tackle in the upcoming session.
He set the stage for a session that will harbor intense debates about Nevada’s outdated revenue structure and bottom-tier education system.
Speaking for nearly an hour, he devoted more than 30 minutes to education reform, highlighting a plan to invest $882 million in education funding in the next two years. He outlined the plan as the beginning of a “new Nevada” and the foundation for education reform.
He didn’t hesitate to say that Nevada’s high school graduation rate and preschool enrollment were among the worst in the country.
Because Nevada’s schools need more tax dollars:

Well, Sandman better do something because Nevada is still ranked next to last in education; has been for years now.
Wait till Telsa finds out many Nevadans can’t even fill out a job application much less figure out what a lithium battery is supposed to do.
