Voters need to be aware that Lombardo is on the side of corporations, not Nevadans. Review what he has already vetoed, and a clear picture is painted:

Some veto highlights that I think Redditors in particular would be interested to know:

* tracking and limiting corporate ownership of single family homes

* funding universal free school breakfast and lunch

* guaranteeing Nevadans the right to contraception

* capping prescription drug prices

* requiring companies who receive tax abatements to provide paid family and medical leave

* heat mitigation to prevent heat illness for employees

* limiting AI use in the health insurance process

* requiring elected officials to financially disclose any business where they own 5K or more in stocks

NEVADA STATE HISTORICAL MARKER No. 98: Osceola 1872-1940

Location: Corner of the highway & White Pine County Rd 39 📍39.07132, -114.44952

Osceola, most famous of the White Pine County gold producers, was one of the longest-lived placer camps in Nevada.

The gold-bearing quartz belt found in 1872 was 12 miles long by 7 miles wide. Placer gold was found in 1877 in a deep ravine indenting the area. Miners first used the simple process of the common 49” rocker. Hydraulic monitors later were used to mine the gold from the 10’ to 200’ thick gravel beds. One gold nugget found was valued at $6,000.

Osceola was a good business town because of its location near the cattle and grain ranches and gardens in the Spring and Snake Valleys.

Famous district mines were the Cumberland, Osceola, Crescent and Eagle, Verde, Stem-Winder, Guilded Age, Grandfather Snide, Red Monster, and the Saturday Night.

The camp produced nearly $5 million, primarily in gold, with some silver, lead, and tungsten.

I started collecting pictures of these historical markers in February 2021. I enjoy planning trips with the purpose of seeing these signs. It’s been a great hobby that has taken me to see many places of the state I wouldn’t have otherwise thought about. The trip to Ely netted me 8 more for the collection, bringing the total to 55 out of the 270 or so around Nevada.

The Lombardo administration announced a temporary closure of the only youth psychiatric facility in southern Nevada, Desert Willow Treatment Center, leaving the jobs of hundreds of AFSCME members at stake. The state's decision to temporarily close the facility has created chaos for patients who need stability and staff who need consistency in an uncertain economy.

Workers have identified issues and solutions – but the state’s solution is to temporarily close the facility, just the latest example of the Lombardo administration’s continuous mishandling of state agencies. Dozens of state employees have been terminated and many more face job reassignment or lay-offs; uncertainties no Nevadan can afford as rent, utilities, and grocery costs skyrocket under the governor's leadership.
