LAS VEGAS, NV – Today, the Vegas Chamber announces its endorsement of North Las Vegas City Ballot Questions 1 and 2 in the upcoming City of North Las Vegas Primary Election on June 11, 2024.
Question 1, also recognized as Fund 268, focuses on maintaining funding for street maintenance, parks and the North Las Vegas Fire Department. Question 2, recognized as Fund 287, aims at enhancing public emergency and safety services for the North Las Vegas Police Department, Community Corrections Center and Animal Protective Services. Both measures are integral to maintaining the economic health of North Las Vegas.
If passed by North Las Vegas voters, property taxes for North Las Vegas residents would not change. Also, the property tax rate would not decrease if the ballot questions failed. Questions 1 and 2 simply direct how the funds are to be spent, ensuring that these funds go into public safety programs. These two ballot questions will only be on the City of North Las Vegas ballot.
“By passing these ballot questions, North Las Vegas will be able to continue to invest in public safety and community resources that are essential for a high quality of life in the growing community without raising any new taxes on businesses or residents,” says Hugh Anderson, Chairman of the Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee. “These two measures are critical for sustaining and enhancing our region’s thriving business environment for thousands of families, residents, and visitors.”
Election endorsements are decided by the Vegas Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee, currently comprised of 29 members representing a vast array of small businesses and employers in a variety of industries including accounting, architecture, banking, construction, energy, finance, gaming, healthcare, insurance, legal services, non-profit, technology, and transportation. Nearly 40 percent of the Committee are small business members.
