Front Page Story: Initiative May Change Tax on Mining Industry

Tax_Init_PHoto

Our front page story discusses the process taken to attempt to get the mining industry to pay its fair share of taxes in Nevada.  Since publication, the attempt to get this initiative on the November ballot has failed; one-third of the needed 90,000 signatures needed were not collected by the June 15th deadline.  Although the initiative will not be on the November ballot, and although the initiative faced unprcedented obstacles, public awarness of this issue has undoubedly increased!  GBRW, along with PLAN, thanks all of the volunteers for both their hard work in gathering petition signatures and for spreading the message that it is time for the mining industry to pay its fair share in taxes!  Thank you!
