RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Two of Nevada’s Representatives, Susie Lee and Steven Horsford, are expressing their dismay and anger over a decision rendered by the Arizona Supreme Court to revive an 1864 law criminalizing abortion at all stages of pregnancy.

Tuesday’s decision will not go into effect for at least two weeks.

Lee had this to say about the decision:

Christine Dyken had just returned home after picking up her grandson from school, and she was stressed.

Dyken — who lives in a quiet corner of North Las Vegas with her daughter, Doreen, and 7-year-old Christopher — needed to move, and the process was overwhelming and expensive.

Doreen was getting divorced, and they’d been looking for a home they could move into quickly — but one that wouldn’t break the bank. The 74-year-old Dyken had moved in with her daughter to help care for Christopher but also because she couldn’t afford rising rents on her own.

Tax Day is right around the corner. That means some folks who haven’t yet filed yet are still weighing options to help them minimize the stress of navigating a complicated tax system. Many people will end up paying a company to help them file, like purchasing software to file online.

Pahrump is growing and so is the need for more resources for those that call the not-so-rural-anymore town their home.

Congressman Steven Horsford visited Pahrump on Friday, where he met up with several local leaders, among them the Nye County commissioners, USDA Rural Planning Network, educators, medical professionals and veterans. Pahrump has grown in population to what is estimated at more than 50,000 residents by the U.S Census, which was over a 30 percent increase in population since the last count.

President Joe Biden visited Las Vegas on Tuesday to announce an aggressive multiagency “strike force” targeting unfair and illegal pricing in consumer goods and services, including measures to get skyrocketing housing costs under control and increase the supply of affordable housing. In a show of unity across branches of the government, Biden was joined on stage at a community center near the Strip by U.S. Reps. Steven Horsford, Susie Lee and Dina Titus.
