We've hit day six of Lombardo's special session, and while it's cost $600,000 to pay for our legislators to debate giving away $1.8 billion in #HollywoodHandouts this is what the money could've funded instead. #NVLeg
Close to the end of day 5 of Lombardo’s corporate special session. While he’s forced legislators to debate #HollywoodHandouts, we could’ve paid for:
• Childcare for 630 families for the entire month of November.
• School lunches for 194,000 CCSD students
• SNAP benefits for 80,645 Nevadans

The film tax credits bill has passed the Assembly floor. This bill is a $1.8 billion handout to out-of-state corporate movie studios. Thank you to the Assemblymembers who voted NO on the #HollywoodHandouts #AB5 #NVLeg
Numbers don't lie; film tax credits won't be a good investment in Nevada. If we go through with the #HollywoodHandouts, Nevada's return on investment could be up to $485 million less than what we put in. Read more at NoHandoutsNevada.com
Film tax credits will drain millions from our budget while leaving Nevadans behind. We’re telling Gov. Lombardo that taxpayers agree with his GOED report and don’t want to foot the bill for corporations. Read more about #HollywoodHandouts here: bit.ly/47cOnO0
Film tax credits will drain millions from our budget while leaving Nevadans behind. We’re telling Gov. Lombardo that taxpayers agree with his GOED report and don’t want to foot the bill for wealthy corporations #HollywoodHandouts
Happening Now! Today, advocates sent a letter to Gov. Lombardo urging him to use his GOED report, which shows film tax credits are bad for Nevada. They do not provide a sustainable ROI. Lombardo needs to say NO to #HollywoodHandouts. Tune in here: www.facebook.com/BattleBornPr...
As we said after last year's report, Nevada's priorities are misguided. #NVLeg
Nevada is still around 47th in the nation in funding with the largest class sizes in the county.
Stadiums won't solve this issue.
#HollywoodHandouts won't solve this issue.
#PassThePlan *will* solve this issue.
"SB220 is Rated F for failing priorities, including a poor use of public money while Nevada ranks 48th in per-pupil funding with the largest class sizes and highest educator vacancies in the country." #HollywoodHandouts #NVLeg
2 bills for #HollywoodHandouts and only "2 bills" for Nevada students per the Governor's budget. #PassThePlan
Whether it's stadiums or studios, the #NVLeg is determined to throw public money at misguided priorities while our schools go underfunded and the Funding Commission's plan for optimal funding collects dust.
We don't need #HollywoodHandouts. We need to #PassThePlan. #SchoolsOverStudios
