Republican Governor Joe Lombardo signed his first two executive orders this afternoon. One order repealed and rescinded the pandemic mandates from the Sisolak administration, and the second addresses state worker shortages as many state employees have not resumed normal, in-person office operations since March 2020 and many employees retired during the pandemic.

The governor should consider abolishing those positions.
I’ll be curious to see how this rolls out to schools. One of my kid’s schools is still pushing masks and covid hysteria.
School boards. Guess we shall see. Heard an ad for the Sheep Show at the convention center and they would have state, county and Reno city CONvid protocols in place. Whatever that means. Guess they are now dismissed?
You know I forgot that the NV Democrats didn't steal this race.
The teachers’ union did NOT endorse the Demorat!
If Nevada is anything like my home state, they could easily reduce the state workers by a minimum of 24% and still function quite nicely!
