Setting the record straight: No on Q3  

After research and deliberation, the NSEA Board of Directors, representing educators from across the state, voted unanimously to oppose Question 3, the energy deregulation measure. We agreed with policy and energy experts that Question 3 is risky and too costly for Nevadans. NSEA believes Question 3 would leave Nevada students, educators, and their families with higher electric rates and a less reliable power supply.
NSEA was very concerned about facts reported in The Nevada Independent on Friday, October 19. The article points toward a pay-to-play endorsement for Question 3 from John Vellardita’s CCEA. After CCEA’s endorsement of Question 3, a vendor for the campaign made an unprecedented half-million dollar contribution to Vellardita’s PAC, Nevada Leads. The appearance is that CCEA took dark money for their endorsement of Question 3. In contrast, NSEA bases its endorsements on what is best for students, schools, and educators. Simply put, NSEA’s endorsement is not for sale.
