Listening session: Residents say racism, redlining is root of problems in West Las Vegas
Sen. Dina Neal (D-North Las Vegas), whose district also covers neighborhoods nearby, spoke about discrimination against Black children and families through urban planning policies. She said it is common practice for policymakers to “take our poverty, our racial characteristics, plug it into a grant, get dollars and those dollars do not find their way back to [predominantly Black] ZIP codes.”
