Redistricting Will Drive Slight Change in Local Boundaries

Redistricting Will Drive Slight Change in Local Boundaries

Sometime later this month, Governor Steve Sisolak is expected to call for a special session of the legislature to redraw federal and state legislative districts. But while many of those districts could change drastically, city and county districts may not change much, if at all. 

Big shifts in population since the last redistricting in 2011 mean that new state and federal districts could be created, or existing districts could be consolidated. 

But Churchill County Chief Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Erin Montalvo said county commission districts probably won’t change much. The Clerk/Treasurer’s office handles redistricting for the commissioner districts and the city handles the ward boundaries. 

“Based on the current census data we have received, we are most likely going to recommend that the commissioner district boundaries remain the same,” Montalvo said. “There is not a great deal of population deviation between the current districts.” 

Mayor Ken Tedford said the City of Fallon is currently working on possible adjustments. “They (boundary lines) will probably move a bit,” he said. “As you remember, they all have to be within 5% of each other.” 

Montalvo said her office will be meeting with the city soon regarding the ward boundaries. 

“We are hoping to align the precincts in the city limits (precincts 1-6) with the ward lines,” she said.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
