That figure (1 out of every 5) in reference to the children is especially heartbreaking. Bringing in businesses that feel that Nevada is a good place to establish commerce is first and foremost. That's something that each individual county is going to have to pursue on a case by case basis. Their local leaders are going to have to aggressively pursue outside business to come into their area. This is just shocking news, to me. |
Nevada, and Las Vegas in particular, run against the normal conventions you hear floating about, how just simply tweaking the tax code, or dropping regulations will suddenly make it easy to create jobs. People incorporate in Nevada due to the favorable legal structure to do so. And the government there has been very active to drive business to their area, and actively advertise and promote. But, despite all this, they are suffering far more than other areas. Have to wonder what they can do though. It is likely now, going to Vegas is the LEAST favorable thing one sees themselves doing when they have to tighten their budgets, and not spend.
