Nevada’s Tough Questions: Leadership, Education & The Future — Cannizzaro & Brooks on The Middle Ground
On today’s episode of The Middle Ground Radio Show, we welcomed two influential Nevada leaders for a dynamic hour of conversation centered on policy, leadership, and the future of our state.
At 8:00 AM, Nevada Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, now a candidate for Attorney General, joined us to break down the recent special legislative session, the challenges surrounding the film tax proposal, and the broader debates over crime and public safety. She shared candid reflections on what worked, what didn’t, and her vision for Nevada as she steps into a statewide campaign.
At 8:30 AM, we shifted focus to higher education with Regent Byron Brooks from the Nevada Board of Regents. Brooks walked us through the ongoing budget pressures facing NSHE, including the highly discussed tuition and fee considerations, and the difficult balance between affordability, access, and long-term sustainability for students across Nevada.
We wrapped with a thoughtful conversation about bipartisan solutions and how leadership at every level can create a stronger Nevada.
