Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 25th of May.
Good morning, Carson City.
🎭 Culture
The Highway 50 Association will run its 76th Wagon Train from Lake Tahoe to Placerville from May 31 to June 7 — riders will travel in period dress, camp, and cook to recreate 19th century travel.
The Pony Express Re-Ride, led by the Nevada Division of the Pony Express Association, will start at Woodfords Station at 1 p.m. on June 12 and reach Genoa at 3:30 p.m. — following a historic route.
🏛️ Government
Speaker Steve Yeager said lawmakers may call a special session in September or October to address federal spending cuts that risk reducing funds for Medicaid, highways and education.
He said the legislature will end its regular session by June 2 and plans to work on the governor's 175-page education bill (as part of efforts to balance the state’s budget).
Carson City will close or restrict lanes on several streets and multi-use paths next week for road and utility work, with some closures starting May 26 and others extending into early June — affecting key routes like 2nd, Baker, Center, Plaza, and Pioche streets.
Detours are planned on several corridors, including Clearview Drive, Menlo Drive, Mountain Street, and North Lompa Lane — aiming to ease traffic delays.
