Summary
The Retail Association of Nevada just flipped its endorsement from Gov. Joe Lombardo to Democratic challenger Aaron Ford, but do endorsements actually move the needle in races like this? A new report on the CCSD Police Department's use of force raises serious questions about racial bias in how officers deploy force against students. Plus, the LVCVA's five-day sale returns next week, but will it be enough to entice us into a staycation? Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with NPR Mountain West News Bureau regional reporter Yvette Fernandez and Nevada Current reporter Michael "MJ" Lyle.
