Nevada mining will not last forever. Tax mining and invest all of the revenue in our children: Education.
Why is this important?
The mining industry in NV has been getting a sweetheart deal for far to long. With Nevada schools continually ranking near the bottom, we need to invest more in education in Nevada. Democrats introduced SJR15 to set a higher tax rate and to tax mining proceeds. This can add up to $780 million dollars into NV education, depending on the tax rate that is set.
