I've lived in Nevada since 1992. I've raised two kids here (one still in High School). I'm proud to call Nevada home.

Irene M.5 months ago Remove politics from schools. Schools need to be refocused. Too often, teachers’ personal political beliefs end up shaping what students are being taught. Politics should still be taught—but it needs to be done objectively, in classes that are actually meant for it, like civics or government. Teachers and administrators shouldn’t be using classroom time to push their own beliefs onto students. The job is to educate, not influence.

Irene M.5 months ago We need to address the homeless crisis in Nevada in a real, functional way—not with quick, feel-good fixes. It’s not as simple as putting people into empty buildings. That can create unsafe conditions and damage neighborhoods. At the same time, encampments in residential areas bring serious issues—unsanitary conditions, crime, and safety concerns—and can’t just be ignored. A major part of this is addiction and mental health. There are people in severe crisis who aren’t capable of managing their own care. Addiction is widespread, and people are profiting off their suffering. If we don’t address that with real medical and mental health support, nothing else will work. We need more structured facilities—not just shelters, but places that provide healthcare, addiction treatment, job training, and real guidance. There also need to be incentives that encourage people to leave the streets and move toward stability. At the same time, there needs to be coordinated action to remove unsafe encampments while placing people into proper facilities. And where is the community in all of this? There should be more outreach, more involvement, and a visible forum to actually work toward solutions. Right now, it’s failing both the community and the people who are suffering.
