A bid to lure two Hollywood studios to Southern Nevada died at the end of the state’s legislative session after some last-minute, screen-worthy drama on the final day of Nevada’s part-time Legislature late Monday night.
The tension started in the late evening when a competing bill’s sponsor suggested lawmakers scrap the effort and instead study the viability of studios in the state. And the session adjourned with equal amounts of theatricality when Republican state senators effectively filibustered through procedural moves until after midnight because of last-minute proposed resolutions that would have made changes to the Legislative Commission, an interim commission in state government.
