Nevada Governor-elect Ford Pledges Affordability Emergency, No Tax Hikes
Nevada Democratic Attorney General and Governor-elect Aaron Ford, in his first speech since winning election, said he would declare the state's affordability crisis a state emergency on his first day in office and pledged not to raise taxes. Ford said the emergency would let state agencies look for ways to "put money back in people's pockets," framing the approach as a matter of budgeting priorities rather than tax changes.
