‘No new taxes’ Lombardo tells Chamber members

As the pandemic continues to take a financial toll, the prospect of new taxes is a growing concern. However, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo provided some reassurance to Chamber members last week, stating that there will be no new taxes anytime soon.

Lombardo’s statements were made during a virtual meeting with the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce on Friday. He said that while budget cuts could be a potential option, it’s still too early to tell what decisions will be made. He also noted that the ongoing pandemic is complicating matters and that there are many variables to consider before making any concrete decisions.

This news is likely to be welcomed by many residents who are already struggling with job losses and other pandemic-related financial difficulties. The reassurance that there will not be any new taxes at least provides a sense of stability and could help ease some of the anxiety that people are feeling.

Overall, Lombardo’s statements provide some much-needed clarity on a topic that has been a source of concern for many in the community. While it’s still uncertain what the future holds, the promise of no new taxes is a small victory. It remains to be seen what other measures will be taken to address the financial challenges that the pandemic has created, but for now, at least residents can rest assured that they won’t be facing any additional taxation in the near future.
