long and a SCOTUS that will impact us even longer than 10 years. Not to mention climate change, more wars and higher debt, etc. And last but not least voter suppression measures and immigration.

I'm not optimistic that his veto pen is going to get much of a workout in the coming 2 years.

hear in Nevada. Charter Schools with Vouchers,taxes on Mining and Casinos going away,huge increases in Real Estate Taxes to fix our Schools which are the worst in the Nation,more fees on the Joe Blow population in the guise of Corporate tax relief. First time since 1985 that Nevada has had a Rethug control of all three branches of government and it ain't going to be pretty. Sheldon Adleson and Steve Wynn along with Katz are the big winners. The bills are going to go down the first week of the new legislative session in 2016. Clark County will really get shafted on this go around.
