Episode 9 - Taxes And Tahoe

Joey talks with one Reno resident who is thinking about moving out of the area because of the steep rent increases. Paul brings you a story on the policy and tax structures that are impacting the housing situation. And finally, Business Reporter Tim Lenard goes up to Tahoe and chats with the CEO of the Tahoe Prosperity Center about housing in that area.

Before taking over the production of multimedia content at The Nevada Independent in 2018, Joey was their first intern, serving during the 2017 legislative session. He helped launch The Indy's two podcasts, IndyMatters and Cafecito Con Luz.
