And it looks like the company lobbying for this got this bill wrote up fairly cheap too.

> Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Blockchains, LLC gave $50,000 to a political action committee, Home Means Nevada, which managed Sisolak’s transition into office in January 2019. Campaign finance records also show the company donated $10,000 to Sisolak and his Republican opponent Adam Laxalt’s campaign in 2018.

> Records also show the company’s owner, Jeffrey Berns, personally gave $50,000 to the Nevada Democratic Party in 2019 and various donations ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 to various state lawmakers from both parties.

There must be other perks, those amounts are peanuts for a 2 year period, unless your crooked politicians live more modestly than usual.

You'd be surprised how little it would take. I know in Kansas that if a rep worked 365 days a year at $88/day they would take home $31,562/yr. So $50k would be almost double their salary.

Looks like Nevada is $150.71/day or about $55k/year.

We really need to pay these people more so they don't need to supplement their pay through lobbying.

Yeah... they definitely got a steal
