Nevadans are paying the price of Biden and Sisolak’s decisions,” Lombardo said. In July alone, 2,071 pounds of fentanyl were seized nationwide, which...

A big announcement Thursday--one that city and state officials can rightly point to and say our local governments are taking a leadership role in the fight against climate change. The setting for the announcement was a northwest Reno fire station, but, in fact, it could have been at any local government location. The fire station, like city hall, other government buildings, city and county equipment and vehicles all collectively consume a lot of energy.
