From the Review Journal:
All 28 Democrats and seven of the 14 Republicans in the Assembly backed the tax increase, which had been approved as an advisory question on election ballots in November in Clark and Washoe counties.
Gov. Jim Gibbons, who vowed to veto tax increases that do not have support of the people, pledged to sign the bill once it passes the state Senate. Revenue from the measure is included in his two-year $6.17 million budget.
Senators have to act on the tax proposal by March 13 or it will be placed before voters in the November 2010 election. The increase would go into effect July 1 if approved by the Senate.
