Should Nevada reel in Hollywood? Film tax credits to be discussed in special session

from Ballot Battleground: Nevada · host KRNV

Legislators will be headed back to Carson City this fall for another special session of the Nevada legislature — the sixth since 2020. Governor Joe Lombardo announced he wants them to finish some 'unfinished business' in the next few months. So when exactly will that be? What still needs to get done? And why have there been so many special sessions lately? One of the biggest issues likely to come up is whether Nevada should offer new tax credits to attract the film industry to Las Vegas, so we figured we'd bring in two southern Nevada journalists. Host Ben Margiott chats with McKenna Ross, politics and government reporter with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Steve Sebelius, senior political reporter with KTNV Channel 13.
