## Resource

NV Energy's controversial daily demand charge is set to go into effect Jan. 1, and when state lawmakers had a chance to advance a bill to stop it, seven colleagues responded with complete silence. Then, a federal appeals court just ruled that Nevada's U.S. attorney Sigal Chattah has been illegally holding her position for over a year. We break down how this legally questionable arrangement happened in the first place and what comes next. Plus, Good News Friday returns. And in our members-only bonus segment, Aaron Ford just drew a line between himself and Gov. Joe Lombardo on data centers, but how much substance is actually behind the stance, and how will it change the governor's race? Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with Nevada Current Deputy Editor April Corbin Girnus and Spotlight Poetry founder Elle Hope.
