Nevada

Local officials in northern Nevada have voted to support a tax incentive program for two businesses with operations in the region, according to the Reno-Gazette Journal. The next step is statewide approval from the all-powerful Nevada Commission on Economic Development.

Lyon County Board of Commissioners Chairman Bob Milz justified his support for an incentive program by stating "You have to give to get."

There's another misleading statement by a local government official. If the incentive program does end up getting through the NCED, Milz and friends are not giving but simply taking less and doing so in an inefficient manner.
