The City of North Las Vegas has abandoned a proposal to purchase the land that once housed Texas Station — plans that brought pressure and accusations of perjury from Sen. Dina Neal (D- North Las Vegas), who is pushing the city to instead prioritize assistance for the residents of the sinking Windsor Park community.

The tensions were largely hashed out during a joint budget meeting Saturday between Neal, officials from the city and the state Department of Business and Industry, which, through its housing division, had preliminarily approved a $10 million award to the city through the Home Means Nevada housing initiative as part of a financing package for the land deal.
