Fire at a South Lake Tahoe duplex sent a woman to the hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation.

Governor Brian Sandoval vetoed a bill that would have increased Nevada's minimum wage from seven dollars and 25 cents an hour to 12 dollars an hour. Most employers in Nevada are required to pay a minimum wage of seven-25 an hour if they provide health insurance, or eight-25 without insurance. SB 106 would have gradually raised the minimum wage by 75 cents each year through 20-22, eventually hitting eleven dollars an hour for those with insurance and twelve dollars an hour for those without. Sandoval says that the objective of the bill was "commendable," but the wage increase would result in fewer available jobs and higher costs for goods and services. Democrats call the veto "a crushing disappointment for Nevada workers."

The fate of a bill to set higher renewable-energy goals for Nevada rests with Governor Brian Sandoval – and its backers are doing all they can to encourage him to sign it. The group "Renew N-V" delivered almost eight-thousand signatures to the governor this week.
