  • Washoe County asks voters: Should EV drivers pay more for roads? With RTC’s Bill Thomas

    Washoe County asks voters: Should EV drivers pay more for roads? With RTC’s Bill Thomas
    Jul 17 2026
    As more Nevadans switch to electric vehicles, one of the state's biggest transportation funding questions is becoming harder to ignore: who should pay for the roads everyone uses? Gas taxes have long funded road construction and maintenance, but EV drivers don't pay those taxes at the pump. Now, Washoe County voters will weigh in on an advisory ballot question asking whether electric vehicle and hybrid owners should contribute more toward road funding. This week, host Ben Margiott sits down with Regional Transportation Commission Executive Director Bill Thomas to explain how roads are funded today, why officials say the current system is becoming unsustainable, what other states are doing and what could happen depending on the results in November.

    Supreme Court mail ballot ruling and Nevada's election results mishap with Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar
    Jul 2 2026
    The Nevada primary is over, but the post-election news cycle is anything but quiet. Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar joins Ballot Battleground: Nevada to break down a series of major developments shaping the state's elections. Host Ben Margiott and Aguilar discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's decision allowing Nevada to continue counting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, a federal court ruling blocking key provisions of a Trump administration executive order and what both decisions mean for voters. We also look back at Nevada's 2026 primary election, including turnout, the rollout of new ballot marking devices and how election results were inadvertently released early to some media outlets prematurely. Finally, Aguilar shares the latest on which ballot questions will appear before voters this November after several high-profile initiatives fell short. Learn more about your ad choices.
