Statewide Questions to Appear on the 2018 General Election Ballot

Question 1: Marsy’s Law – Senate Joint Resolution No. 17 of the 78th Legislative Session

STAN’S RESPONSE: VOTE YES ON 1

Question 2: Pink Tax Repeal – Senate Bill 415 of the 79th Legislative Session

STAN’S RESPONSE: VOTE NO ON 2
New information has become available from the State which shows the considerable financial impact this exemption will have. Thirty-five other states do not exempt feminine hygiene products from their sales tax. A broader tax base generally leads to lower tax rates and responds better to upturns and downturns in the economy leading to a sound tax policy. The State estimates there will be a loss of tax revenue of between $4.69 million to $7.11 million per year from the State General Fund, the School Districts, Counties, Cities and Towns. In addition, 13 of the 17 counties impose additional sales taxes which will be lost equaling between $931,300 and $1,330,400. These lost tax revenues will have to be made up in some other way and will lead, I am afraid, to the clamoring of Legislators, County Commissions and City Councils for other tax increases such as the devastating property tax increase SJR14. Considering these facts we have changed our recommendation on Question 2 to NO.

Question 3 reads: “Shall Article 1 of the Nevada Constitution be amended to require the Legislature to provide by law for the establishment of an open, competitive retail electric energy market that prohibits the granting of monopolies and exclusive franchises for the generation of electricity?” On the surface, it sounds like a winning proposal. I know I prefer more choices.

Question 4: Medical Patient Tax Relief Act

Financial Impact Statement

STAN’S RESPONSE: VOTE NO ON 4
“ While this may be a good idea, it raises many questions in context of the various things the state does and does not tax. But even if one concludes as a matter of sound tax policy that these items should be tax-exempt, the legislature already has the power to exempt them now. Once again, enshrining these provisions in the constitution would prevent timely reform of any parts of the proposal that may be found to merit change or repeal later.

Question 5: The Automatic Voter Registration Initiative

Financial Impact Statement

STAN’S RESPONSE: VOTE NO ON 5
It would create an unnecessary risk that people who are not qualified voters may unintentionally apply to vote, subjecting them to possible criminal prosecution, fines, and other legal action.

Question 6: The Renewable Energy Promotion Initiative

STAN’S RESPONSE: Vote No on 6
America is the “Saudi Arabia” of Coal
Coal is formed from ancient plant material accumulating over long periods of time in swamp conditions so devoid of oxygen that bacteria could not exist to cause decay. Being composed almost entirely of plant fossils, coal is in effect concentrated sunlight, and is one of our most important fossil fuels.

The United States as a whole has more recoverable coal resources than any other country on the planet– over 262 billiontons– enough to last over 250 years! Long after the rest of the world’s coal, petroleum and natural gas reserves have run out, America will still have enough coal to satisfy its energy needs.
