Ally Audio: Toll Roads, Wildfire Compacts & Federal Cuts

On this edition of Ally Audio, Noah and Scott talk about a new toll road proposal in Sparks, and the impact of the federal worker purge on Nevada and our public lands. The guys also get into Nevada potentially joining into wildfire compacts to help prepare for disaster in the face of cuts to federal funding.

And before we get too far into March, we’re going to take some time to look back on February’s Black History Month and a celebration that took place in Nevada’s capital city with a special audio report from civics correspondent Alex Couraud.
