Hi Friend, We know there’s a lot of important issues being talked about this legislative session. But one thing we cannot let fall through the cracks is the real opportunity to raise significant revenue to support our state and its people for years to come. The way we do this is by taxing the industry that gets away with paying little to no taxes in our state: mining. Thanks to generous deductions, mining does not, and has not, paid what they owe to support our schools, our healthcare, or our public services. As the legislature debates this issue, Nevadans fighting for fixing our state’s regressive tax structure ought to be included in the conversation. This is too important to our communities to leave it solely to lobbyists for the wealthiest people in the world to decide what is fair for them. That’s where you come in! Please call Speaker of the Assembly, Jason Frierson, and ask him to open up the mining tax conversation to revenue advocates! Call Speaker Frierson’s Office at (775) 684-8537 Here’s a script: “Hello, my name is _________, and I am a Nevadan who supports raising revenue by ensuring mining companies pay what they owe. I’m calling to respectfully ask Speaker Jason Frierson to open up discussion about taxing the mines to Tribal communities, educators, and environmentalists who have a stake in this process. Thank you for your time.” Looking for more ways to help?
Every one of these actions is necessary for Nevada to finally make a real investment in our education, healthcare, and more. It’s going to take every supporter calling and writing to their legislators to tax mining to raise revenue this session! Thank you for all your support,
