Nevada is experiencing solid economic performance during 2018.  The state budget is resting on a solid foundation in terms of satisfying revenue projections contained in the 2017-2019 biennial budget.  Nevada successfully faced and responded to a state economic environment that was characterized for many years by recession, a budget crisis and political budget fights.  The budget in Nevada is currently stable and Nevada has experienced steady economic improvement during fiscal year 2018–2019.  The Nevada Legislature meets once every two years during odd-numbered years and 2018 represents an off year for the Nevada Legislature.  The off legislative year consists of monitoring economic indicators and the preliminary construction of the new biennial budget. The 2018 General Election represented an election year of great success for Democrats in Nevada. The 2018 General Election produced unified state government with the Democrats looking forward to being solidly in control of Nevada government in 2019.
