Certain groups in Nevada worry that Nevada may soon have to enact an income tax. The culprit is a law recently signed by Governor Steve Sisolak. The bill allows Nevada State Employees to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. Nevada has long been known as a fiscally conservative state that funds its operation from other tax sources. However, representatives of the Nevada Policy Research Institute NPRI have expressed concern that employees engaged in collective bargaining will lead to run away spending.
"The price tag associated with this is something that really worried us," said NPRI Communications Director Michael Schaus, "simply because we're already straining our budgets." according to an article on the 3 News Las Vegas web site.
Conscious conservatives across the country worry about the natural conflict of interest that occurs when public servants are allowed to hold public interests hostage for salary increases. We also hope that Nevada holds out as one of the examples of how government can be funded without a tax on income.
