Las Vegas Stadium Financing Bill Heads To Nevada Assembly

The Nevada legislature reconvenes today, with the Assembly to consider a bill that would help finance a domed NFL stadium in Las Vegas and convention center upgrades. The bill, already passed by the state Senate, needs 28 votes (a two-thirds majority) to "pass the lower house," but how it will be "received by the Republican-controlled Assembly is unclear." Assembly majority leader Paul Anderson said that lawmakers were "working toward a possible final vote for sometime" today. When asked if there were enough votes to secure passage, Anderson said, "I don't think I could answer that" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 10/13). The Assembly "can request additional amendments" (LAS VEGAS SUN, 10/13).
