35m · PublishedThis is IMPACT. A daily look at how we are coping with the coronavirus in Nevada. I’m Carrie Kaufman.
It’s May 6. Of 2020. I feel I need to say the date every once in a while, just to ground us in reality.
Because this time feels so unreal. So slow motion.
There is an election this year. A big one in November, and smaller primaries all over the country. Three months ago that’s all we were focused on. Suddenly, it’s a dim ray of sunshine in a dark dystopian dream.
Is it an illusion? Will we get there? What will the world be like when we get there? Will we fall into a vast ocean of COVID stew, before we reach it?
And what if we reach it and nobody cares?

IMPACT on State Budget
30m · PublishedNevada is facing deep budget cuts in the coming year. Daniel Rothberg ran some numbers for the Nevada Independent and estimates that the state will be down about $800,000 for the coming fiscal year - which ends on June 30. For the next fiscal year, Rothberg's sources told him the state could face a $1 - $2 billion shortfall.
At the same time, MGM announced it would likely lay off the roughly 63,000 workers it had furloughed in the middle of March.
And the state's unemployment agency is straining under old systems and new demand.

The Interview:
The Henderson Pavilion was build in the late 1990s as a performing and gathering center for the new Green Valley Ranch area. But it was an outdoor pavilion, in a city that sees 100+ temperatures five months out of the year. Now, as costs for shoring up the crumbling facility rose, the City is looking to build a multi-use arena that would house artists and schools and community groups - and a minor league hockey team owned by the Golden Knights. This has engendered a bit of pushback from residents, who don't want the traffic or parking issues. We talk to Rob Herr, assistant city manager and chief infrastructure officer of Henderson.
