Assembly GOP Caucus calls on Sisolak to start process of reopening state

Assembly GOP Caucus calls on Sisolak to start process of reopening state

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

The Nevada Assembly Republican Caucus on Monday released a four-part plan to reopen Nevada which it called on Governor Steve Sisolak to begin implementing immediately to reopen the state’s economy.

In a press release issued Monday, the caucus cited the protests in Carson City and Las Vegas as examples that Nevadans are looking for a plan or hope to get them back to work.

“People should not have to resort to ignoring health guidelines to get the attention of their elected officials,” the caucus said in its press release.

The four parts of the plan presented by the caucus include:

  • Join the California, Oregon and Washington Western States Pact to work on best practices to mitigate the spread and economic impact of the coronavirus.
  • Establish a regional plan to modify and/or ease Nevada’s stay at home orders
  • Establish a bi-partisan taskforce to advise on a strategy to re-open Nevada
  • Establish a curbside pickup model that will allow non-essential retail businesses to open

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion. Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AM Comment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-ramp
