Happy Friday Carson Now Readers (or should I say listeners?)

It’s been a busy week here in the capital city, especially as we’re careening towards the end of this year’s legislative session that saw a historic claw back of anticipated revenues mid session, which has left budget managers scrambling throughout the state as their submission deadline (June 9) draws closer.

In other, non-political news this week, we’ve seen:

  • Multiple evacuation drills throughout the region as local responders and law enforcement prepare for fire season;
  • Memorial Day celebrations (and post-celebration arrests);
  • The summertime event schedule already filling up with announcements for the annual Douglas County Kids’ Fishing Derby, Brewfest (happening tomorrow!), the Third Annual Western Days in Tahoe, and so much more!

Catch up on all our week’s top headlines and plan your weekend with our upcoming calendar events with the Carson Now Deep Dive podcast:
