BREAKING NEWS
No “American carnage” here. Donald Trump’s name was never mentioned on Monday, but in many ways Sisolak’s inauguration was the polar opposite of Trump’s. Sisolak’s speech was hopeful and upbeat, focusing heavily on the kindness and resilience of Nevada residents.
Sorry, policy wonks, but this one wasn’t for you. Sisolak laid out a general agenda but didn’t get into details for the most part.
How exactly will he propose paying for improvements in the K-12 system? What’s his game plan for economic development and job growth? You have to go back to the campaign for clues on both of those fronts, because Sisolak didn’t offer any concrete answers from the steps of the governor’s office.
An exception was health care, where he pledged specifically to fight to maintain protections for pre-existing conditions, work to lower the cost of prescription drugs, protect access to women’s health care and defend women’s rights to make their own medical decisions.
