Why vote YES on Questions 1 and 2
PAID FOR BY NORTH LAS VEGAS MOMENTUM PAC
In the June 11th primary election, North Las Vegas residents will be asked to vote YES on two important measures to reauthorize existing revenue sources that fund our Police, Firefighters, Parks and Roads.
Save Our Safety
for the Same Cost
Nearly 30 years ago, North Las Vegas voters approved additional property taxes of 0.435 cents per $100,000 of assessed property valuation. Those voters approved measures are soon expiring and YES on 1 & 2 reauthorizes them at the exact same rate.
No. You will pay the exact same property tax rate you do now.
Ironically, what you pay now in property taxes will likely not decrease, North Las Vegas will just lose our share of that existing funding to other entities and communities in Clark County.
This funding is specifically earmarked for certain areas. While the vast majority of this money goes directly to public safety, funds also go to roadway maintenance, improvements and parks.
These funds have been used to build new police and fire stations, hire more cops and corrections officers and provide critical equipment for police and firefighters. As a result, Wallethub named North Las Vegas the 24th safety city in the nation – YES on Questions 1 & 2 means first responders continue to have the resources needed to keep us safe.
This money has been used to build new roads and make our streets safer through repair and maintenance. It’s also been used to build and upgrade parks. For example, the North Las Vegas has been able to implement water conservation measures in our parks to do our part. YES on 1 & 2 lets us build upon these accomplishments so we can keep enhancing our public safety, streets and parks without raising taxes.
This is not a tax increase and you’ll pay the exact same property tax rate you do now with no action required on your part.
Questions 1 & 2 will appear on the June 11th primary election ballot along with candidates running for office. This timing is critical to ensure there is no interruption to North Las Vegas providing services with this revenue, as the existing voter approved authorization expires soon.
