Today we think of:
People who cannot be a part of this process.
People who cannot vote.
People who cannot lobby.
People who cannot visit this house.

(c) Economic disadvantages for businesses located in both the urban and nonurban areas of the county.
2. A general law cannot be made applicable to the problem addressed by section 24 of this act because of the economic and geographical diversity of the local governments of this state, the unique growth patterns in those local governments and the special conditions experienced in Washoe County related to the increased use of the railroad lines in and through the urban areas of the county.
Sec. 24. 1. The board of county commissioners of Washoe County may by ordinance, but not as in a case of emergency, impose a tax upon the retailers at the rate of not more than one-eighth of 1 percent of the gross receipts of any retailer from the sale of all tangible personal property sold at retail, or stored, used or otherwise consumed in the county if the board:

3. An ordinance enacted pursuant to subsection 1 must specify the date on which the tax must first be imposed which must occur on the first day of the first month of the next calendar quarter that is at least 60 days after the date on which a two-thirds majority of the board of county commissioners approved the question.
4. An ordinance enacted pursuant to subsection 1 must include provisions in substance as follows:
(a) Provisions substantially identical to those contained in chapter 374 of NRS, insofar as applicable.
(b) A provision that all amendments to chapter 374 of NRS after the date of enactment of the ordinance, not inconsistent with this section, automatically become a part of an ordinance enacted pursuant to subsection 1.

(1) Entered into on or before the effective date of the tax; or
(2) For the construction of an improvement to real property for which a binding bid was submitted before the effective date of the tax if the bid was afterward accepted,
if under the terms of the contract or bid the contract price or bid amount cannot be adjusted to reflect the imposition of the tax.
5. No ordinance imposing a tax which is enacted pursuant to subsection 1 may be repealed or amended or otherwise directly or indirectly modified in such a manner as to impair any outstanding bonds or other obligations which are payable from or secured by a pledge of a tax enacted pursuant to subsection 1 until those bonds or other obligations have been discharged in full.

The percentage to be transferred pursuant to this paragraph must be the same percentage as the percentage of proceeds transferred pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 3 of NRS 374.785 but the percentage must be applied to the proceeds collected pursuant to this section only.
(b) Determine for the county an amount of money equal to any fees, taxes, interest and penalties collected in or for the county pursuant to this section during the preceding month, less the amount transferred to the state general fund pursuant to paragraph (a).
(c) Transfer the amount determined for the county to the intergovernmental fund and remit the money to the county treasurer.
9. The county treasurer shall deposit the money received pursuant to subsection 8 in the county treasury for credit to a fund to be known as the railroad grade separation projects fund.

REMARKS FROM THE FLOOR

Senator Neal requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
Mr. President, and members of the Senate. I would like to have the following remarks entered into the record for this Legislative Day. These remarks are relative to some activities that I find somewhat of an atrocious nature in this House of the Legislature for this particular session. I have never, in my entire 25 years of service, saw a process that seems to be so corrupt that a legislator cannot go and ask for an amendment unless other key people within this particular legislature are being told about that amendment. I've seen that and experienced that with the amendment I called for on Assembly Bill No. 291. The word has gotten out that Joe Neal had an amendment. I would submit to you that the amendment we have to this bill, which is being placed on General File, was purposely juggled to have a conflict with the amendment I was going to propose to this house. As I understand the rules, being interpreted by the Secretary of the Senate, is that the amendment to the bill which is introduced by the committee, that amendment comes first. If there are conflicts, then those conflicts are not to be considered. Even though I find the rule itself, in terms of accepting committee amendments and amendments to the bill in numerical order, that the Secretary has found it fit to interpret that the committee has some type of priority. That is not found in any rule, in this particular Senate, since I have been here. It has usually been the case, and traditionally been the case, that the minute that the amendment of the first numerical order is the one that would be considered. Mr. President, I have seen such things, even the corrupting of my secretary and getting information from her about what is going on in my office. I have to tell my friends, you know, not to say anything to my secretary because the lady is new; she doesn't know how to deal with the powers to be. People come up and ask her things - she tells them. So, I have never seen the process operate as it has in this particular session. I would think that, in the next session, whoever is in control, and I hope it is the Democrats, they are probably going to have to clean out this whole house and start all over again because what is happening here I think is wrong. When you deliberately propose legislation in this manner, or talk to people in the back room, and get information about any committee members bills, then juggle your legislation to negate what that Senator is trying to do, you are then trying to stifle the voice and impinge upon the freedom of speech in this particular house. We have a right, as a Senator, to propose any type of legislation, whether or not it is bad, indifferent or whatever, but we are not supposed to be counterattacked in such a way that our voice cannot be heard.
Now, I understand that a lot of people have friends in the gaming industry. Those friends do not want to vote upon a gross gaming tax because they know that the people want this. They want it. The polls have indicated ythis. We would much rather go to a sales tax or other tax, but we don't want to hurt that sacred cow that is causing the problems we have in Clark County. People are not coming to Clark County because of the sunshine. They are coming there in response to the gaming houses that are being built there. These particular gaming houses are paying anywhere from 12 to 20 percent on their gross taxes outside the state of Nevada, but here, we cannot consider even increasing the 6-1/4 percent of gaming taxes. Even though the community wants it, there are some people in here who do not want to vote on that, so they use these back room tactics in order to try to negate those particular efforts. I abhor that type of practice. We have never had that type of situation to happen in this Legislature in the entire 25 years that I have been here. I think that is wrong. Somebody, I don't know who it is, but I happen to know and have a sense, when I talk to individuals and I hear them parroting the same thing, that I know that something is wrong. That something is wrong! You know who you are. You know whom you have talked to. You know who your friends are in the back offices. You know who gives you information that is counter productive to this particular process. And, I would tell you that that is wrong. That is wrong!
Mr. President, I understand the power of those gaming houses and those gaming folks. They have a tremendous amount of influence, but let me tell you that they get their gaming licenses from the people of the state of Nevada. It is by the people that they are able to operate those houses. If we are going to sit here and tell the public that we cannot tax the gaming industry, then we might as well pack it in and go home and let the gaming industry come in here and sit and make these laws, because they are doing it already.
I hate to get upset about this, but I am telling you that this has gone too far as far as I am concerned. I think I want to put it on the record and let the public know what is going on here. When it is happening to me, it can happen to anybody. It so happens that I know what the rules are. It so happens that I know many people who are in the back room. I go back now and then and talk to them. And, I know when they have been talked to by certain individuals and been able to give information to certain individuals about what is going on in this house with other Senators. That is wrong. That is wrong! We are not supposed to be operating a KGB agency here. Nor, are we supposed to be operating as the CIA. No one has to be investigated about his ideas or whatever ideas, because in the final analysis those ideas, if you want to put them into law or propose them, have to come here. They have to come here on this floor and be debated on, looked upon and read in public. So then, why would it be necessary to use these back room tactics to forestall and curtail the individual speech of senators on this particular floor. I don't buy it and I will not accept it. And, I will speak against it each time that I find that it is happening. Each time that I find it is happening, I would speak out against that because I happen to think that is wrong.
I am going to call for that amendment to that bill. I went back and talked to the bill drafter. And, the bill drafter said to me "I can't draft your amendment until they adopt the other one." That is a lot of bull. That's a lot of bull! You can draft an amendment off an amendment. We have people who can do that here, but when I am told that you cannot do it, I happen to know that is wrong. I happen to know that is wrong! And, I happen to know also, Mr. President, that when I hear that, that it is in response to somebody who has authority over those folks. I think that is wrong! If any Senator can't feel free to go back and ask for an amendment to his bill in confidence and not have it be spread all over the house, or not have whomever told about it, then I think we have risen to a kind of situation, in this Legislature, where equality does not exist. Equality of membership does not exist. It speaks about it in Rule 50 of Masons Manual. It talks about equality of membership, but when you have these back room deals that are going to stop any type of action from coming to this particular floor, then I think that is wrong and I should speak out about that. I think the people of the state of Nevada should know about that. And, I think the people of Nevada should know that we don't want the gross tax on gaming. We would much rather have a room tax where it is passed through by gaming. But, "no", let's not tax the gross. You see people in the gaming industry having 2 and 3 homes, $30 million houses in 2 and 3 states, and you tell me that those people can't pay an additional 2 percent on a gross tax on which they have been paying, for years, 6-1/4 percent. We have people in this house who are going to try to maneuver to keep that from coming to this floor where people can vote upon it. I think that is wrong. I think it is wrong! The people of the state of Nevada should know that.
So, I would like for you, in the legislature, to go back home and tell the folks why you would not consider a gross gaming tax. Tell them of the millions of dollars that those houses are making and tell them that they are paying anywhere from 12 to 20 percent on the gross anywhere else in America, but they are paying but only 6-1/4 percent here. You go and tell the people of the state of Nevada that you don't want to tax them. Tell them that and let's not be using these maneuvers so you won't have to vote on this particular issue.
I don't mean to get upset, Mr. President, but I think it is a time to be upset when you have things like this happening. I, for one, do not fear the gaming lobbyists or the gaming industry. I don't have any fear about taxing them when they propose to pay their taxes. As I said, they can go anywhere else and they have offered the state of Louisiana $100 million a year to operate in that state. You tell me that they cannot pay 2 percent on the gross which would bring it up to only 8-1/4 percent in order to take care of the infrastructure for people who are coming in here to either work in those houses or gamble in those houses and to give those houses more money. Tell the people that you can't tax them. Tell the people that you don't want the taxes. Tell the people of the strength that they have in this house and this legislature and let the people know. Then, maybe they will want to change what is going on here. But I, for one, who probably has less means than anyone else in this place, would tell you when something is wrong. I think it is necessary for that wrong to be righted and be re-addressed. This happens to be wrong. This happens to be wrong! When you can corrupt the process in order to protect people from voting on this particular measure to increase the gaming tax, that is wrong, and the people should know that. I would say to the people of Nevada, "yes, Nevada, this has happened to me, because I wanted to bring an amendment to allow this particular body to vote to increase the gaming gross tax by 2 percent and raise it to 8-1/4 percent." I have been maneuvered out of that quest. Nevada - wake up and listen. This is your Legislature. These are your representatives and it is up to you to do something about it.
Senator Raggio requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
Mr. President, the previous speaker has made some very serious allegations on the floor of this senate. I haven't a clue as to what he is talking about. If anything that he says is true with respect to the Secretary of the Senate or any member of this senate, I will be the first to authorize action to be taken. The nature of his remarks impugn the integrity of this body. They impugn the integrity of every senator on the floor and every person at the front desk. I was trying to understand what this senator is saying. I tried to catch what I thought he said, that somehow he was not able to get an amendment to this bill. I should not be the one up here responding to this because I am not in that committee. I don't have a clue as to his allegations. But, they are serious allegations and I am not going to allow them to be made here on the floor of the senate where the senator knows that he can say anything he wants without fear of being accused of libel. I am going to ask the senator, his quote was that the people in this house are maneuvering to keep some amendment from coming that deals, apparently, with the gross gaming tax on the gaming industry.
I want the senator now to tell us on the record who the people in this house are that are maneuvering to keep an amendment of some kind from coming to this floor. This senator has not done anything like that. I am not going to sit here among the rest of my colleagues and be accused. But I want to tell him that if he can name who is doing this in this house because that is what he said, I want him to tell me because we will have him or her arrested. Put up or shut up. If you want an amendment, go get an amendment. I am not going to sit here as the leader of this house whether or not you desire to have a Democrat leader or not next session, but the rules in this house are being observed, and if they are not, come and tell us. Don't stand up here and grandstand in the presence of everybody on this important day. Tell us what the charges are. Tell us who is doing this. Name them. It is not this senator, I can assure you. You are impugning the integrity of this whole house. The process is very simple. It has been that way since you and I came into this senate sir.
As I understand the policy, committee amendments are first heard., every since I have been in the senate. Do you have an amendment at the desk? What are you talking about? Did somebody say that you couldn't get an amendment? I would be happy to try to assist you if that is the case. I can tell you, I did not stop you from getting an amendment. I have absolutely no knowledge of any attempt by you to get an amendment and somebody maneuvering to quote you that you could not get an amendment. If you just wanted to make the speech about gaming, that's fine. That is your privilege. But don't impugn the integrity of you colleagues on either side of this aisle unless you are prepared now to stand up and tell us which of the other 20 senators here are part of a conspiracy of some kind to keep you from getting an amendment. And if you can do that and prove it, I will be shoulder-to-shoulder with you and we will go out and get them. But don't make empty charges just because you like to hear yourself speak. That isn't fair to the senate or to this legislative process.

Senator McGinness requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
Mr. President, somewhere in this bill, there were a couple of deletions about mules. The senator from the northern district and I were concerned because they do have mule racing. If you look in the Nevada Revised Statutes, 466.026, horse as defined means any equine including a mule. So I want to make it clear that mule racing and paramutuel betting on mule racing is still okay.
