History

PLAN Projects

Racial Equity Report Card PLAN partners with Western States Center to produce a Racial Equality Report Card (RERC) while Nevada's legislature is in session.

The RERC examines legislation introduced during each session of Nevada's legislature. It grades each chamber of the state legislature separately, as well as the Governor, on their responses to bills graded for the report card.

Nevada Fair Mining Tax Nevadans for Fair Mining Taxes is a coalition dedicated to ensuring a stable and equitable revenue source for our state by undoing antebellum Constitutional provisions which allow the mining industry to evade paying its fair share of taxes. PLAN supported Question 2 in the 2014 election, which would have removed a cap in the state constitution on mining taxes. [1] The measure was defeated by a less than 1% margin. [2]
