From. National Transportation Research group trip released to findings on the driving conditions here in las vegas. In it it reads across the state 3. 2 billion are spent by nevada drivers as a whole every single year. Broken down, that number equates to over 1,700 annually per driver. And the report goes on to pinpoint safety conditions as traffic as the main reason. The numbers are obviously high. Its important to know that most drivers are not spending just repairs. So to back up the findings trip says the largest portion of that amount, about 1,000, is actually cal caw lateed from the cost of time local drivers spent while waiting in traffic every single year and that is total of about 46 hours. When it comes to the roads driving conditions, trip pulled a stat from the federal Highway Administration turned over by ndot on the smoothness of local poor or mediocre condition. One of every three miles is beat up and its giving your car a rough ride and thats what contributes to the higher vehicle operating cost. Kyndell so weve broken down the numbers in terms of costs. But another eyebrows raiser from the report is the number of deadly crashes right here in nevada. The statewide average is actually higher than the national number. I can tell you that that number was even noninterstate and rural roads. Moving forward i can tell you that pinpointing areas of construction like right here in the northwest the main focus of county and also the city workers here and well stay on top of it and bring you the latest. Kyndell nunley, back to you two. Michelle a lot of people waiting for that project to be done so theres a flyover to get on the 95 from the 215. Speaking of construction, projects are popping up around the valley. You probably noticed. Voters are deciding now if drivers will continue to pay to improve clark county roads when they decide yes or no. This is question five on your ballot. If you found yourself fueling up in clark county in the past three years it means you have already been paying to help local road improvements because theres a fuel tax. And now voters will get to decide if that tax will continue. By the way, if you vote yes its going to continue for ten years. Theyon signal intersections for pedestrian safety, school zones, to large projects like the airport innerconnect. Michelle if approved it will raise gas prices by 0. 03 a gallon per year over the next ten years. Also giving the Regional Transportation Authority and its partners more than 250 million a year to put towards all the a lot of people on social media think its our state flower. Michelle its obviously a joke but there is lots of construction. Krystal okay. We are talking halloween time. And why not go to a masquerade ball right . A good time.

They spent millions supporting heck, and heck supports their agenda special tax breaks worse, heck pays for them by cutting education and raising taxes on us. Congressman heck is whats wrong with washington. Dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. Ads for joe heck are attacking my time as attorney general. The thing they left out is the truth. The truth is crime actually went down during my time in office. Thats why ive been endorsed by Law Enforcement across nevada. And Holding Banks accountable for defrauding homeowners. Im Catherine Cortez masto. I approve this message because ive spent my career solving problems. Isnt that what we need more of in washington . Wolfson im a prosecutor. Locking up criminals is my job. The attacks on question 1 . Misleading and flat out wrong. Nick swapping guns with your buddies when hunting or at the shooting range . Question 1 wont change that one bit. Steiber heres the only change. Current law requires background checks at gun stores. Estion 1 applies the same rules to all gun sales including at gun shows and online. Thats all. And that fix makes it harder for criminals. Safer for us. Vo background checks save lives. Hillary clinton far too many families today dont earn what they need and dont have the opportunities they deserve.
