(Carson City, NV) – Senate Republicans released the following statement on today’s unanimous Nevada Supreme Court ruling on the unconstitutional tax increases passed by Nevada Democrats in the 2019 Legislative Session.

“Today’s unanimous Nevada Supreme Court ruling made one thing clear, Nevada Democrat leaders knowingly violated the Nevada Constitution,” said Senate Minority Leader James Settelmeyer, R – Gardnerville. “This is a victory for all Nevadans. We should remember it was the voters who placed the two-thirds requirement in the state constitution, and that provision is now guaranteed.”
