Nevadans for Fair
Mining Taxes
Can You Find Mining's Contribution to Nevada on the State's Revenue Chart?
We Didn't Think So.
We need a balanced approach to Nevada's unprecedented budget crisis; this includes making the mining industry pay its fair share of taxes! There are several bills before the legislature that will bring us closer to this goal and three of them will be heard on Tuesday, April 5th.
Please plan to attend at least one of the following important budget meetings in Carson City or Las Vegas and make your voice heard:
- Senate Bill 493 would create a Mining Commission to have tax and environmental oversight over the industry. Also to be heard is Senate Joint Resolution 15, which would eliminate mining’s tax loopholes by a long-overdue change to the Nevada Constitution. Both hearings are Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Legislature in Carson City and at the Grant Sawyer Building 555 E. Washington Ave. in Las Vegas.
- The Assembly Taxation Committee will discuss Assembly Bill 428, which would limit the tax deductions that the industry uses to evade any significant taxes on our state's minerals. The meeting is at 8a.m. in room 3100 of the Legislature and at the Grant Sawyer Building in Las Vegas.
SEE YOU THERE!
