(Annie Black) – Seems I hit a raw nerve! Last week, I asked your opinion on the idea of completely repealing the state business license.  The responses have been overwhelmingly in favor (see a sampling below in the AnnieGram Mailbag). Only four other states require a state business license…and Nevada’s fee is the highest. The […]

(Annie Black) – There are 50 states.  And of those 50 states, only five penalize businesses by forcing them to pay for a state business license.  Nevada is one of them.  And charges the highest fee/penalty/tax. A bill I’ve introduced, the “Emergency Small Business Relief Act” (AB120), would exempt small businesses that make less than

(Annie Black) – My first bill on your behalf has now been officially introduced. Assembly Bill 120 (AB120) would mean businesses making less than $400,000 a year would no longer have to pay the state business license fee. Instead of penalizing small businesses that are being devastated by the Sisolak Shutdown, we’d being giving them

(Annie Black) – Saddle up, Annie’s Army! Here are three issues you might want to weigh in on as we celebrate President’s Day today… “Harry Reid” Airport Should Be Grounded The Clark County Commission is expected to vote on a proposal to change the name of McCarran International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport at

(Annie Black) – Question: Do you live in a Nevada state assembly district where your legislator pulls to the left side of the political spectrum (both R’s and D’s) and/or is unresponsive to your needs, questions or concerns? You’re not alone. Consider this very kind note I recently received from Steve Williams in Reno… “Hi

(Annie Black) – Last July I spent some time interviewing people forced to stand in line at the DMV in triple-digit temperatures just to get an appointment to come back to complete their business. Unlike Carson City, Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno, rural DMV’s do not offer online reservations for appointments. In mid-December, I shot

(Annie Black) – First things first… Despite threats and efforts to not seat me in the Nevada State Assembly – along with social media calls for my resignation – I officially took the Oath of Office on Monday. THANK YOU to everyone who supported, voted for and trusted me to represent you in the 2021

(Annie Black) – The Nevada Legislature will be back on Monday.  And as Mark Twain famously warned: “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.” Unfortunately, for the last ten months your lives, liberty and property have been under assault while the Nevada Legislature was NOT in session, thanks

(Annie Black) – In his State of the State Address last week, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak proposed increasing, not decreasing, the current state budget even as the economic ravages of his shutdown orders continue. Indeed, it was reported today that gaming revenue for 2020 was down 25 percent! Still, the governor declared that his budget

(Annie Black) – Even as other Democrat governors begin reopening their states now that President Trump is no longer in the White House, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak continues with his iron grip on the state’s economic throat while doing nothing (other than talk) to reopen our public schools. With deadly results. “Since schools shut their
