Despite Lombardo’s threats to veto the state budget if his legislative priorities were not addressed, he signed three of the five major bills used to fund the state government through Thursday afternoon.

The bill (AB522) includes the first major pay boosts for state workers in years, including raises ranging from 10 percent to 13 percent in the upcoming fiscal year beginning in June, and 4 percent raises the following year.

On Wednesday, lawmakers heard and voted to advance a bill that would appropriate $64.5 million to replace the Owyhee Combined School on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in northeastern Nevada.

After spending the morning in the building meeting with lawmakers, Wahlberg — a recent Las Vegas transplant who has been filming in Southern Nevada — spoke to reporters highlighting his support for expanding the tax credit program.

With just days left in the legislative session, Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo joined Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar in a bill signing détente. 

The agreement follows days of heated negotiations after Lombardo threatened multiple times to veto the state’s budget bills as his legislative priorities remained stalled.

The House of Representatives passed a debt limit deal Wednesday night, with Nevada’s four members voting for the agreement negotiated between President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

“It's not our goal to veto that budget,” Gov. Joe Lombardo’s Chief of Staff Ben Kieckhefer told The Nevada Independent. “Our goal is to get the governor's priorities moving.”
