Today’s Las Vegas Sun has an article about how much influence and control the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce has over the legislature of Nevada.
The business group succeeded in placing its key issues at the center of this session’s budget debate and helped frame the discussion by staking out a moderate position and getting key Republican lawmakers to buy in. The chamber’s demands became Senate Republicans’ playbook, with GOP lawmakers making support of any tax increase contingent on Democrats agreeing to enact the chamber’s recommendations.
The Chamber of Commerce and GOP generally work hand in hand for the benefit of business as distinct from people.
