🛫 Plane takes off, doesn’t return
January 13, 2025 · Rob Kachelriess
🇺🇲 We’re a week away from Inauguration Day — or as some call it, the end of Dry January.
As President Trump promises to make America great again (again), his new administration is ready with big plans. Personally, I’m looking forward to welcoming Canada as the 51st state, along with its health care system, but where do things stand right here in Nevada?
Gabby Birenbaum, Washington correspondent for the Nevada Independent, joins City Cast Las Vegas co-host Dayvid Figler to discuss what the next four years will mean on a local level. Think of the conversation as an unconditional discharge on immigration, taxes, transportation, and other topics.
