2022 NV Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Joe Lombardo: There's always another way instead of raising taxes

On the mining tax increase that will funnel hundreds of millions more dollars to education, he said there was "always another way" instead of raising taxes, repeated his no-new-tax pledge. He said the state's tax structure is sound and needs time to prosper. "We don't want to make decisions on the heels of a pandemic, you know?" he said, adding later: "I personally believe there's fluff available in any government."

Joe Lombardo: Open to tax reform, but not increase in state revenue

Lombardo said he is open to tax reform, but not in a way that increases revenue. "What do I mean by that is: can we do a better way of doing business?" he said. "No increase in revenue -- reallocation." Lombardo said he would not be open to a property tax hike as a way to increase funding for schools but would consider reevaluating the process of how property taxes are calculated.

John Jay Lee: Federal taxes hurt families & local government

Q: What about higher taxes? There are a lot of big corporations out there in Vegas.

LEE: There are and those taxes are very important. A lot of taxes are taking out of people's pockets are taxes that we kind of need to run our local governments and stuff. They're not giving any opportunity about families saving for their future, for their children's education, it's all about them and their socialistic values and that doesn't work.
