As the 2013 Legislature readies to convene, most observers have focused their attention on taxes. Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval has promised to veto any tax increase, while Democratic leaders have vowed to launch an extensive review of the existing tax structure, which has the potential to change the way businesses pay license fees, the live entertainment tax and other levies. But the tax debate isn’t the only discussion that stands to change the way Nevada companies do business. From restrictions on how pharmacies sell cold medicine to a measure that would block employers’ access to job applicants’ social networking passwords, ...

marijuana dispensaries
another excuse to promugate thugs getting into the illegal drug business
here's a top priority for segerblom : NO DRUGS
marijuanna is a gateway drug that ruins memory, produces wild mood swings after its use wears off, ruins effective coordination and then stays in the brain for over six weeks
how about segeblom moving south and getting into bed with las zetas drug mafiosi and murderers- he would fit right in
They should research what other states have done so they know what they are talking about instead of just trying to submit "feel good" laws.
Posting of Nutritional information has done nothing except cost companies money in the areas that have required this.
Tax on junk food has raised money for states but has not slowed the buying of junk food and has been mostly a tax on the poor.
We already have enough people overseeing the water department. Another layer of government is not going to fix anything.
All business, home based or not should share in the costs. If $200 a year is going to break them they need to get a job and stop their losing business.
Marijuana dispensaries should be set up, taxed and watched carefully. The public approved the use for medical cases but made criminals out of users since they gave them no way of legally buying it.
I agree with the Governor. The last thing we need is an increase in taxes. The state will have to get by on less. Look at the horrible problems in Illinois or California with all these worthless social programs. Who needs to pay government workers huge benefits and high salaries. The school system is loaded with overpaid and under worked administrators who do mostly nothing. I do not want Nevada to be like California. You want all these social programs and high taxes then live in California or New York.
Marijuana is illegal on the federal level and that is all that matters. If you allow businesses to sell marijuana, fine but accept that you are creating money laundering operations. It is illegal for banks and all financial institutions to touch drug money without violating anti-money laundering laws. This means everything will be cash and they cannot pay taxes, since you know, no banks can touch their money. I am sure some banks have no problem violating laws in other states, but the Feds always reserve the right to swoop in and shut you down.
