GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ A new study by Dixon Resources Unlimited found that Reno lost over $2.66 million in parking fees in the past five years—nearly $1.5 million in citation fees were not collected due to inconsistent enforcement and expired vendor contracts. The report warns that without updated systems like new pay stations, the city may face more revenue losses as it works to meet a projected budget shortfall. Reno Gazette Journal
- ➤ On June 6, the Truckee River was redirected in downtown Reno as signs warned river floaters to disembark before reaching Wingfield Park while construction continued on the Arlington Avenue Bridges project. Officials said the route will remain partly closed through summer 2026 — a detour has been provided to keep people safe amid fast-flowing water. Reno Gazette Journal
- ➤ Nevada will resume its cage-free egg law on June 20—eggs sold after this date must come from hens with the required space.
