Members of Nevada’s Senate and Assembly formed a joint taxation committee to discuss solutions to the state’s tax revenue shortage. Leaders of the gaming and mining industries appeared before the committee to talk about their hardships and express the need for the state to look elsewhere for tax increases. The industry leaders did mention their support of a broad-based business tax, which some members of the gaming industry proposed prior to the recession. Committee members have not yet decided whether to increase taxes.  „
