NEW REPORT: Aaron Ford’s Plan Would Cost $18 Billion

New Report Exposes the Staggering Price Tag of Aaron's Plan and What it Means for Nevada

LAS VEGAS, NV - The Lombardo campaign released a comprehensive new report exposing the true cost of Aaron Ford's spending plan for Nevada - a plan that would total $18 billion, equivalent to more than $14,000 for every Nevada household.

In a state with no personal income tax, that burden falls directly on Nevada taxpayers through higher sales taxes, payroll taxes on small businesses, and business taxes that drive up prices on everyday goods and services. With no vote and no choice, every Nevada family would be handed the bill for Ford's policies, whether they can afford it or not.

To put that $14,000 into perspective for Nevada families already stretched thin, that would compare to:

A year's worth of mortgage or rent payments,
A year of child care
A year of in-state college tuition
An emergency savings fund

“Aaron Ford’s $18 billion spending agenda would force hardworking Nevada families to foot the bill for his costly, unsustainable policies. His reckless plan would cost the average Nevada household $14,000, money that could be going toward groceries, gas, rent, healthcare, and savings for the future. At a time when families are already feeling the squeeze of higher costs, Aaron Ford wants to make life even more expensive. Governor Lombardo has cut red tape, created jobs, grown our economy, and kept his promise to not raise taxes. Aaron Ford would undo that progress with higher costs, bigger government, and increased taxes. Nevada families, businesses, and our communities simply can’t afford Aaron Ford’s agenda.” - Halee Dobbins, Joe Lombardo for Governor Campaign Spokeswoman.
