The Latest: Nevada lawmakers suspend session over virus case
By The Associated Press
today
CARSON CITY, Nev. Nevada lawmakers have pumped the brakes on their emergency special session because someone in the legislative building has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Gov. Steve Sisolak has convened the session so lawmakers can balance the state budget amid a projected $1.2 billion shortfall stemming from the economic damage of the pandemic.
But on Friday staff members announced that someone in the building is infected with the virus, though the person shows no symptoms.
On Saturday, 13 Nevada lawmakers decided they would now participate remotely in the emergency session and both chambers agreed to recess until Monday morning. That will give time for legislators time to get tested and staff to answer a long list of questions that lawmakers have asked in hearings.

(772 posts)3. They should meet at one of their "safe" casinos. Ya know,
the ones they are having meetings about. The ones they're planning to open for me and you (or to be more precise, our money) to enjoy with safety measures in place.
Nothing says "it's safe" like "nah, you go first".
