DA: Ballot measure revenue must be used for local roads
A public forum Monday on two Carson City ballot questions revealed a stark division in what proponents believe about the tax proposals and what opponents believe about the tax proposals.
The League of Women Voters of Northern Nevada, Sierra Nevada Forums and AAUW Capital (NV) Branch presented the free election forum, one of four co-sponsored by the Nevada Appeal. Monday’s event was moderated by Nancy Scott. More than 180 people attended at the Brewery Arts Center, and the debate can be watched on the Appeal’s YouTube page at
“So, in conclusion, passing this measure to fund local road repairs is a reasonable and fair solution to a serious problem,” said Chas Macquarie, supporting the measures.
Macquarie, retired civil engineer and former CEO of Lumos & Associates, was talking about a proposed .25 percent sales tax that could raise an estimated $4.5 million a year for local roads.
