Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The coordinated rehabilitative justice program that has emerged in North Las Vegas is connecting offenders and their families with ongoing social services and supports, reducing recidivism and, most importantly, giving our neighbors a second chance at life.
53% : Staff from libraries, the recreation department and other affected departments were redeployed into new COVID response related roles, using their work hours to package and distribute meals with Three Square Food Bank while people were homebound; assist the Southern Nevada Health District with contact tracing to curb the virus' spread; assemble and operate a dedicated call center for business and resident assistance; and develop and operate a first-of-its-kind in the nation, in-person school in repurposed city facilities to enable parents to work while public school remained virtual.
