Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Raised utility cover damages multiple cars in Las Vegas (fox5vegas.com) — Drivers in Las Vegas say a raised metal utility cover near Jones and Hacienda damaged at least four cars Sunday night, leaving some without transportation and waiting hours for help. The Las Vegas Valley Water District says it hadn't received reports but replaced three valve covers as a precaution, while Metro Police reported no matching service calls; residents are urged to report similar hazards via 311.
2. CCSD seeks more special education funding, changes to state school budgeting process (news3lv.com) — Clark County School District leaders in Las Vegas are preparing two major funding proposals that could significantly affect local classrooms, especially for students in special education. One bill draft would seek roughly $480 million more over two years to fully fund IEP services, while another would overhaul Nevada's school budgeting process to reduce midyear cuts and set a clearer minimum funding level for public education.
3. Woman, friends discover potential human remains at Lake Mead in Las Vegas (8newsnow.com) — A Las Vegas woman and her friends discovered what appeared to be human remains along Boulder Beach at Lake Mead, prompting a response from rangers, Metro Police, and the Clark County coroner. The find echoes an earlier 2022 barrel homicide case and comes as Lake Mead's water levels hit new record lows, with federal projections showing continued declines and Nevada's governor criticizing proposed water reductions.
4. Nevada lawmakers back $330K to combat hunger among seniors and veterans (fox5vegas.com) — Nevada lawmakers meeting in Las Vegas have approved $330,000 to bolster programs that fight hunger among seniors and veterans, a move that could directly help vulnerable residents across the valley. Local veterans who testified also urged lawmakers to preserve their freedom to use private firms for navigating federal benefits, even when fees are involved, arguing those services finally got them the support they'd long been denied.
