Ally Radio: Electrifying rural Nevada, and state money toward homelessness prevention
Manage episode 376485086 series 3482443
On this week's Ally Radio, the Sierra Nevada Ally's Scott King joins the show to talk about efforts to build green energy infrastructure and transmission throughout rural Nevada. While well intentioned, these projects have the potential to harm the communities they're meant to serve.
Then, we chat with Dr. Sondra Cosgrove, history professor at the College of Southern Nevada about AB528, a new law that will give private nonprofit organizations up to $100 million in matching state funds to address homelessness. But, is the bill designed to help specific interests?
This show is made possible by Press Forward, a national coalition investing more than $500 million to strengthen local newsrooms and close longstanding gaps in journalism coverage.

Music for the show comes from local band, People with Bodies.
