Prison cuts postponed
A plan to help deal with Nevada's budget crisis by cutting out the extra pay that about 450 prison guards get for working swing-shifts has been postponed by Corrections Director Howard Skolnik.
Severe budget cuts seen
The next round of budget cuts will make the past round seem mild, with Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons' senior staff projecting a shortfall of more than $1 billion in the two-year budget cycle that starts next July.
Special session debate, talks continue
As Nevada lawmakers continued private talks on moneysaving plans in advance of their special session, Gov. Jim Gibbons said Tuesday he wants to see those plans developed rather than hear "constant criticism" from some about his own proposals. |
