Call the question already. After 5 days, you have the votes or you don't #NVLeg #SchoolsOverStudios
A vote for Assembly Bill 5 is a vote to cut education.

Maybe Hollywood will make a movie about that... #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
"When you give away tax revenue like that, you limit the state's ability to hire teachers, fundamental health supports, improve infrastructure, all of which actually drive long-term job growth," said Marks. #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
It's the Tone Deaf Trilogy #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
"...the proposal to set aside $120 million in tax credits each year for the next 15 years would undoubtedly have an effect on the state’s budget and ability to collect taxes and that’s something lawmakers need to consider." #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
"In the rush to stimulate your economy and create jobs, do not give a handout to big corporations that will leave you high and dry when they’re done extracting value from you. That’s what’s happened in Georgia — and it will almost certainly happen to you." #NVLeg #SchoolsOverStudios
"Much like sports subsidies, says @jcbradbury.com, independent economic studies agree that film and TV subsidies are an ineffective way to create jobs and promote economic growth" #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg reinventalbany.org/2025/10/subs...
“Every dollar we lock into a corporate handout is a dollar we can’t put toward our rainy-day readiness, public education, healthcare, wildfire mitigation, housing, and the basic services Nevadans rely on when times get tight,” #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
“Evidence from other states overwhelmingly indicates that film tax credits do not cover their costs and have not led to the creation of sustainable jobs.”

I'm sure it was an oversight that the article failed to mention economists have largely downplayed the economic benefits of film tax breaks and that numerous states with similar (handout) programs have not seen a return on investment. Seems like an important thing to mention #SchoolsOverStudios
Every dollar funneled to Hollywood executives is a dollar not spent on classrooms, educator salaries, or vital student resources. This debunked policy will drive Nevada off a fiscal cliff and will drain the General Fund, forcing huge cuts or steep tax hikes. #SchoolsOverStudios
We look forward to working with Superintendent Wakefield to #PassThePlan for optimal funding while also putting #SchoolsOverStudios.
The real emergency is that Nevada ranks 48th in education funding, with the largest class sizes in the country, not that Hollywood executives don't have access to taxpayer money. #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
I guess we’ll see if the top 3 outgoing democratic leaders in the Assembly decide to blow a gigantic/unfixable hole in Nevada's budget to give Hollywood $1.65 billion in public money before they all leave next year. #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
"One of the zombie measures, according to Lombardo, would give the California film industry hundreds of millions of public dollars that would otherwise go to Nevada education, health care, and other public services and programs"
#SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
$2 Joe is at it again...
Wasting public money to give away public money to Hollywood. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #SchoolsOverStudios
Why not just turn it into a license plate!? #SchoolsOverStudios
Public funds should serve the public good, not subsidize corporate profits. The credits have not yet rolled on the 83rd session, and Senate has the chance to rewrite this ending put essential services like education at the center of our budget, not on the cutting room floor. #SchoolsOverStudios
If misguided priorities were taxable, we could fully fund education. #SchoolsOverStudios #NVLeg
Egg on their face? In this economy!?
#SchoolsOverStudios
We have to say #SchoolsOverStudios because the #NVLeg says Studios Over Schools…
Not a single study says this is financially sound policy. Their own presentation said we’d lose 80 cents on every dollar. They simply do not care.
Nevada’s students need the Blockbuster Budget; Hollywood does not need to use Nevada’s budget for its blockbusters. #SchoolsOverStudios
Lordy, the parallels between last session and now...
They think they do enough on public education and then immediately pivot to some economically debunked project with public money. #NVLeg
Stadiums and studios wont save Nevada. #SchoolsOverStudios
