2018 NV Governor's race: on Corporations


Dan Schwartz: Bringing in high tech business will help increase paychecks

Nevada can no longer cater to low wage jobs. A job boom isn't good when someone has to work 3 of them just to make ends meet. Every Nevadan should have an opportunity to choose a career that will allow him/her to save for the future, to offer their children a better life. Dan will focus on bringing new industries to Nevada, specifically in the fields of drones, water tech, and alternative energy. Dan has begun the process of what it will take to encourage these industries to move to Nevada.

Adam Laxalt: Remove barriers to job creation and business expansion

Nevada's economy has made great strides in recent years, and I believe we have the potential to enter a new period of enormous prosperity and opportunity--if we take an effective, forward-looking approach to developing our economy. As Governor, I'll promote policies that take advantage of Nevada's many natural economic strengths, remove barriers to job creation and business expansion, and empower our education system to equip our future workers with the skills they need to succeed. That means eliminating unnecessary regulations and licensing requirements that only serve to stifle private-sector job growth and keep individuals out of the workforce. It means creating an environment that allows Nevada to become the most economically competitive state.

By building an economic climate where businesses can innovate and grow, and where individuals can acquire the tools they need to get ahead, we can achieve the goal of providing each of our citizens with access to a better life.

Jared Fisher: Too many regulations work as roadblocks for business growth

Diversifying Nevada's Economy: Gaming and tourism will always be the financial lifeblood of Nevada's economy, but we must diversify our industries and our revenue sources so that downturns in the economy do not devastate our lower-income residents. Currently, approximately 25 percent of the state's revenues come from taxes and public monies generated by gaming revenues. When tourism becomes subject to a weak economy, this extremely high percentage can put Nevada in a perilous position. This means that Nevada must be pro-active in developing other industries to shoulder some of these public money burdens.

We Must Reduce Growth-Hindering Regulations: There are too many regulations that work as roadblocks for business growth. I'm in favor of de-regulating and reducing the bureaucracy for small businesses. This way, Nevada can compete with high-tech states such as California and Massachusetts.

Dan Schwartz: Replace commerce tax with broad-based corporate income tax

Nevada Treasurer Dan Schwartz has submitted a bill draft that would create a corporate income tax. But he said at least initially, his plan would be revenue neutral because it eliminates the Modified Business Tax, the commerce tax. Nevada's constitution prohibits the state from enacting a personal income tax without voter approval but permits the governor and lawmakers to create an income tax on businesses. He said he wants a less confusing financial revenue system and "a more broad based tax."
