Join us for a live blog tomorrow of the IFC tax study working group
The Interim Finance Committee working group that will select a group to conduct a tax study for Nevada is meeting again tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Join us as I live blog the meeting, and feel free to ask any questions you have in the comments section. You can watch the meeting over the Internet as well (this meeting is the first item on that page).
Another working group - which will attempt to provide political cover for the tax increases that the study is almost certain to recommend - is meeting next Tuesday at 9 a.m. I'll be live blogging that meeting as well.

Ironically, Assemblywoman Kirkpatrick also voted for a record-setting, billion-dollar tax hike during this year's legislative session.
"When they came to us during the session all they wanted was higher taxes, higher fees," said Assemblywoman Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas. "It is good they have to come to the Legislature for approval (of tax measures)."
