  • ‘No Tax on Tips’ effort is gaining momentum in Congress. It’s great politics, but is it good policy? With Culinary Union Local 226

    ‘No Tax on Tips’ effort is gaining momentum in Congress. It’s great politics, but is it good policy? With Culinary Union Local 226
    Jun 25 2025
    It was a simple campaign promise to put money back in people's wallets during a Presidential election centered on the economy. 'No Tax on Tips' resonated with voters across the country but especially in Nevada, which has the highest percentage of tipped workers. That campaign promise, first raised by President Donald Trump, has not fallen by the wayside. Multiple proposals are actively being debated in Congress. Before it comes up for final consideration - we wanted to take a deep dive on ‘No Tax on Tips.’ How would it work? Who would it help? And would it be unfair to others? This week, host Ben Margiott interviews two people with Culinary Union Local 226, the most influential union in the Silver State. Ted Pappageorge, the union's Secretary-Treasurer and Sebastian Espinoza, a longtime union member and busser at Caesars Palace join for a 'No Tax on Tips' conversation. It’s clear 'No Tax on Tips' is great politics - but will it be good policy? Vote Ballot Battleground: Nevada for Best Local Podcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Late nights, filibusters and political gamesmanship. The end of the 2025 session of the Nevada legislature had all the usual shenanigans we’ve come to expect as sine die approaches in Carson City. On this episode of Ballot Battleground: Nevada, what happened? Which bills lived and died? And what does it all mean moving forward? We’ll hone in on the final chaotic hours with KRNV/KRXI reporter Sophie Lincoln who was our boots on the ground for day 120. Plus, we examine the bigger picture (and what it could mean for 2026) with TMCC political science professor Fred Lokken. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Education funding, film tax credits, nonpartisans and vetoes: The biggest questions as the Nevada legislature winds down with reporters Tabitha Mueller and Paul Boger
    May 28 2025
    It is crunch time in Carson City — less than a week remains in the 83rd session of the Nevada legislature. Major policy proposals, big budget questions and the endgame are all still up in the air. Will education get a funding increase this year? Is there room for state workers to get raises? What about tax credits for movie companies? Will Governor Lombardo’s major pieces of legislation make it through and how many bills will he veto? This week, it's a reporter roundtable with two of the must plugged-in journalists in the building. Host Ben Margiott chats with Tabitha Mueller of The Nevada Independent and Paul Boger of Nevada Public Radio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
