  • Where Do We Go from Here?
    TAX TOPICS An electronic publication of the Nevada Taxpayers Association ♦ Serving the citizens of Nevada since 1922. ISSUE 20-3 December 19, 2020 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? There is no question that when the new decade rolled around this past January no one envisioned 2020 as it currently exists. Fortunately 2021 is around the corner, and brings hope with it that the end of COVID-19 is near and some sense of normalcy will return. Unfortunately, at least for the beginning of 2021, Nevadans and the rest of the nation’s citizens will be dealing with a number of unknowns. At a state level some of these unknowns include the following (not necessarily in any particular order). Will we still be subject to emergency orders by the Governor? Will the Legislature be open for in-person interaction or will it operate virtually as it did for the two special sessions this summer? What will be the reaction to all the initiatives? Will both legislative political parties in Nevada be able to agree on revenue raising issues which might come before them? Will Congress pass a stimulus package that includes state and local governments so that budget cuts can be fully or partially restored? Will enough people take advantage of the approved COVID vaccines to provide “herd immunity” so the economy can begin to return to normal? ECONOMIC FORUM FORECAST The Nevada Economic Forum has completed their initial revenue forecast for the 2021-2023 biennium. The projections established by the Forum indicate available revenue for the upcoming budget cycle to be roughly $8.5 billion over two years.
