Higher education cuts would weaken Nevada’s economic development

The latest legislative funding proposals for Nevada’s rural community colleges will do serious harm to the economic development work now employed through a partnership between Northern Nevada Development Authority and Western Nevada College.

Saturday’s committee vote in the Nevada Legislature would result in a General Fund cut of 11.42 percent in the budget of Western Nevada College. This comes on top of more than 27 percent in reductions over the past five years, which led to a significant loss of academic programs, faculty, staff, and services.

Carson City free daily news summary for Nov. 8

Greater Nevada Credit Union gained new customers on national Bank Transfer Day on Saturday, a protest against rising fees at large corporate banks. The protest called for people to move their accounts to credit unions and non-profit banks, and also coincides with the growing Occupy Wall Street protests.

GNCU wouldn't release any numbers, but said they had twice the number of people there on a Saturday, and people were definitely moving their money because of dissatisfaction with the big banks.

The Nevada Appeal follows up on the Chobani yogurt factory story we broke last week, saying the reason the factory decided to locate in Twin Falls, Idaho and not Carson City is because we lack cows. According to Rob Hooper, executive director of the Northern Nevada Development Authority, Chobani needs 100,000 cows to supply their milk needs, and there are only 20,000 dairy cows in the entire state of Nevada. Twin Falls also bribed them with $29 million in "incentives."

Nugget Project: Business incubator losing steam?

One of the things that came out at Monday night's Nugget Project advisory was a setback for the business incubator part of the project.

It was announced by project consultant Mark Lewis that C4Cube, the business incubator in Reno that was considering operating the planned Carson City incubator, was no longer a part of their discussions. We don't know exactly what happened, but not having an experienced operator could threaten this part of the project.
