POLL: Did the Clark County Council make the right decision by rejecting the auditor authority proposal?

The Clark County Council voted 3-2 against a proposal that would have allowed the county auditor’s office to prepare financial impact statements for ballot initiatives and charter amendments. Supporters argued that voters should have access to cost estimates before casting their ballots, while opponents warned the proposal would concentrate too much influence in a single office and pointed out that voters rejected a similar measure in 2024. The debate also raised broader questions about transparency, voter information, and the role of government officials in the ballot process. What do you think?
