Reno Gazette argues appropriations by the Legislature, adjourned at 7:35 am, will total about 1.5 million dollars. It decries high state spending in a small 100000 population state, calls for tax relief, and endorses a commission form of government to curb expenses and improve efficiency in Carson City. It notes much of the population is tribal and untaxed, amplifying the burden.
