Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind.
Since Donald Trump launched a seemingly endless war with Iran (that Joe Lombardo was quick to back), diesel and gas costs are through the roof — hurting everyone across Nevada from working families to delivery drivers to small businesses.

As small businesses shut their doors and tourists continue to turn away from Las Vegas, passenger traffic at Harry Reid International Airport continues its decline for the 19th month straight. Now, Nevadans are forced to pick between filling up their gas tanks and putting food on the table while Lombardo is only focused on caving to Trump.
