Open government not a priority of Nev. Legislature
By Ben Botkin, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — For the most part, the 2017 session of the Nevada Legislature has not been one to foster open government.
Bills have run the gamut and had mixed results, as the Legislature has considered proposals dealing with government transparency, accountability, lobbying, campaign finance and even an inspector general to investigate government agencies.
Some measures have fared better than others, but the session will do little to improve Nevada’s poor standing as a transparent state for open government.
