La reserva de la Tribu India Fort Mojave existe hoy porque funcionarios federales la ensamblaron en 1911 a partir de un puesto militar dado de baja, tierra federal colindante y parcelas sobrantes de concesiones ferroviarias — los restos que quedaron tras décadas de desplazamiento y asimilación forzada. La porción de Nevada de ese mosaico, en… Continue reading Una Orden Ejecutiva de 1911 Ensambló la Reserva de la Tribu Fort Mojave a Partir de un Fuerte del Ejército Cerrado.

Un Fondo de Pensiones de los Teamsters Intentó Sobornar al Senador de Nevada con Bienes Raíces de Las Vegas en 1979. A las Cortes Federales les Tomó Cuatro Décadas Soltar al Fondo.
El Fondo de Pensiones Central States de los Teamsters pasó décadas financiando — y saliendo perjudicado por — Las Vegas, desde préstamos de construcción de casinos que salieron mal hasta un esquema de soborno dirigido al propio senador estadounidense de Nevada. Una corte federal finalmente levantó cuatro décadas de supervisión sobre los fideicomisarios del fondo… Continue reading Un Fondo de Pensiones de los Teamsters Intentó Sobornar al Senador de Nevada con Bienes Raíces de Las Vegas en 1979.

Nevada Fusionó Siete Agencias de Agua en Una en 1991. Acaba de Ayudar a Decidir las Reglas del Río Colorado Hasta 2027.
El gobierno federal emitió su Registro de Decisión sobre las nuevas reglas operativas del Río Colorado el 21 de agosto de 2026, fijando cómo Nevada, otros seis estados y México compartirán un río cada vez más reducido durante la próxima década.

Nevada’s School Funding Formula Has a Weight for Almost Everything. Music Isn’t One of Them.
Nevada’s per-pupil funding formula gives extra money for English learners, gifted students, and students who are at risk. There’s no line in that formula for a school’s band program — which means when budgets get tight, music funding depends entirely on what’s left over. Nevada’s Pupil-Centered Funding Plan, the formula that determines how state education… Continue reading Nevada’s School Funding Formula Has a Weight for Almost Everything. Music Isn’t One of Them.
Every Student Who Leaves for a Charter School Takes CCSD’s Per-Pupil Funding With Them
Nevada’s charter schools have grown by double digits while the state’s largest school district keeps shrinking. Both trends draw from the same funding pool — and CCSD is the one losing ground. Nevada’s public school enrollment peaked at roughly 500,000 students during the 2019-20 school year and has since fallen to about 474,000, according to… Continue reading Every Student Who Leaves for a Charter School Takes CCSD’s Per-Pupil Funding With Them
Nevada Charter Schools Enroll 70,000 Students. None of Them Get Dedicated Funding for a Roof.
Nevada’s charter school sector has nearly tripled in a decade. What it hasn’t gained along the way is a dedicated source of money to build or maintain the buildings those 70,000 students learn in. Gov. Joe Lombardo praised Nevada’s charter school sector at a Charter School Association of Nevada event this spring, saying the state… Continue reading Nevada Charter Schools Enroll 70,000 Students. None of Them Get Dedicated Funding for a Roof.
Nevada No Tuvo Forma de Investigar a los Dueños de Casinos Hasta 1949. Bugsy Siegel Abrió el Flamingo Tres Años Antes.
Nadie investigó a Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel antes de que Nevada le permitiera construir y operar un casino en el Strip — porque durante los primeros dieciocho años tras la legalización del juego sin restricciones, nadie en el gobierno estatal tenía la autoridad legal para investigar a nadie. El vacío regulatorio que dejó entrar sin control… Continue reading Nevada No Tuvo Forma de Investigar a los Dueños de Casinos Hasta 1949. Bugsy Siegel Abrió el Flamingo Tres Años Antes.
Nevada’s Lake Mead Recreation Area Got Its Name in 1947. Congress Didn’t Decide Who Was in Charge of It Until 1964.
Six million visitors a year come to boat, swim and camp on Nevada’s largest reservoir without ever noticing that two separate federal agencies still answer for different pieces of it — a split in authority that traces to a recreation area Congress didn’t fully hand to the National Park Service until 28 years after the… Continue reading Nevada’s Lake Mead Recreation Area Got Its Name in 1947. Congress Didn’t Decide Who Was in Charge of It Until 1964.
A Private 1960 Deal Desegregated Las Vegas Casinos. Nevada Didn’t Pass Its Own Civil Rights Law Until Five Years Later.
The Nevada Equal Rights Commission that investigates discrimination complaints across the state today — in housing, employment and public accommodations — didn’t exist when Las Vegas casino owners agreed in 1960 to stop turning away Black customers. That 1960 agreement was a private deal with no legal enforcement mechanism; the actual law banning discrimination in… Continue reading A Private 1960 Deal Desegregated Las Vegas Casinos. Nevada Didn’t Pass Its Own Civil Rights Law Until Five Years Later.
LVMPD Asked the Justice Department to Review Its Own Shootings in 2012. Outside Assessors Were Still Grading the Results Four Years Later.
The framework Las Vegas police still use to investigate their own shootings — a critical incident review process, mandatory reality-based training, and a use-of-force policy split into separate sections for firearms and less-lethal weapons — traces directly to a federal review the department asked for itself in 2012, after a string of shootings brought unwanted… Continue reading LVMPD Asked the Justice Department to Review Its Own Shootings in 2012.
