{"pk":46833,"title":"Nevada: Blue Wave and a Progressive Agenda","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Nevada has experienced steady economic improvement as it continues its recovery from theGreat Recession of 2008. The state budget is resting on a solid foundation in terms of satisfyingrevenue projections contained in the 2015‒2017 biennial budget. The state successfully facedand responded to a state economic environment that has been characterized for the past few yearsby recession, a budget crisis and political budget fights. The 2017‒2019 biennial budget was theresult of divided government. The Senate and the Assembly—with Democrat majority control,and Governor Sandoval—a Republican, resulted in Nevada adopting a 2017‒2019 biennialbudget that was the result of compromises. The 2017‒2019 legislatively approved appropriationsclosely resemble the 2015‒2017 biennial budget on a category basis. Economic recovery, economicgrowth, and incremental tax revenue growth constituted the basic approach taken to budgetingby the 2017 Nevada Legislature and Governor Sandoval.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"state government"},{"word":"budget"},{"word":"fiscal policy"},{"word":"taxes"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3rp6v3z8","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"","last_name":"Morin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Western Nevada College","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2017-12-19T21:55:56Z","date_accepted":"2017-12-19T21:55:56Z","date_published":"2017-01-01T00:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cjpp/article/46833/galley/35414/download/"}]}
