Way back when I was working for Newmont in Carlin, Dirty Harry Reid was campaigning for a gross proceeds tax which had the potential to decimate the mining industry. He had great support from environmental groups and, of course, Clark County.

Gold Quarry has seen its heyday, and the rest of the Carlin trend is nearly breakeven economically. Raise the cost of doing business and all you haulpak drivers, diesel mechanics, mud loggers, and assay lab techs can learn a new skillset. Like flipping patties.
