CARSON CITY — Nevada lawmakers convened in special session late Wednesday and took care of procedural business before recessing for the night, all in preparation to consider tax breaks for electric car start-up Faraday Future.

The Nevada Senate was gaveled to order around 5:30 p.m.; the Assembly convened about an hour later. But the process stalled as lawmakers awaited completion of bill drafting.

Assembly Bill 1 dealing with workforce development programs was introduced in the Assembly, which recessed around 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Senate Bill 1, addressing tax abatements, tax credits, improvement districts and infrastructure at the Apex industrial park, was introduced shortly before 10 p.m., when the Senate adjourned for the night.

Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, said the upper chamber would convene 10 a.m. Thursday as a committee to begin hearing testimony.

THINK! only cost you/us around $500 Million dollars.

They built around 110 cars in Elkhart Indiana, where Obama touted his “Stimulus” crony grants, and sold retail exactly NONE. They all were given away at zero cost to local govs, who then said, “What the hell do we do with THIS?”.
