Nevada: Ross Miller

LAS VEGAS-Secretary of State Ross Miller today denied an appeal by the backers of the Education Initiative Act, the Nevada Taxpayers Protection Act and the Funding Nevada's Priorities Act to have petition signatures for the acts deemed sufficient.

Miller's office had earlier deemed the petition signatures invalid because they failed to meet all of the requirements of state law.

LAS VEGAS-Secretary of State Ross Miller's office issued challenges today against the candidacies of Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury, Clark County School District Trustees Mary Beth Scow and Ruth Leola Johnson, Humboldt County School Board member Linda Schrempp and university regents Howard Rosenberg and Thalia Dondero.

The Kennedy's, Clinton's, and Bush's aren't the only families in America where politics runs in the blood.

Now that the Nevada State Education Association has submitted a petition to Secretary of State Ross Miller's office that would increase the gaming tax on our biggest casinos (those making more than $1 million a month in gaming revenue) by 3%, you fine citizens may have a choice to make.  Do you bite the hand that feeds so many Nevadans by signing the petition (and maybe eventually voting on it), or do you say "Sorry, kids and teachers, this isn't the way to make things better for you?"
