Tax battles expected to dominate Nevada Legislature in 2021

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) Nevada lawmakers are scheduled to reconvene on Monday for a four-month legislative session, in which they hope to tackle issues sparked by the coronavirus pandemic none more urgent than balancing the state’s budget.
The pandemic’s devastating effect on the economy means lawmakers have less funding to divvy up. It’s left them only undesirable options: They raise taxes, make cuts or bank on a sooner-than-expected recovery yielding more tax revenue than projected.
Democrats enter the session with majorities in both legislative chambers despite losing seats in both in November.
