Who is the biggest loser in Nevada's budget deal where there is more evidence that temporary taxes really are permament taxes.
Easily, the biggest loser is Gov. Brian Sandoval as he just threw the entire Republican delegation in the Assembly and Senate under the bus.
The Republicans stood behind Gov. Sandoval on his no new taxes pledge, including letting temporary taxes expire. They backed him all the way and then he throws them under the bus by making a deal with the Democrats. Sandoval and the Dem's just made the taxes that were set to expire, hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, more or less permament. Just what the Democrats wanted.
The GOP got little in return, some school reforms that really do little and the Democrats already said ok for.
And in the next governor's election, the first thing the Democrats will point out is that Gov. Brian Sandoval broke his promises in less than 6 months into his term. Kind of like this guy:
