What Nevada Gets
Healthcare
Paid by GRT. No out-of-pocket costs.
Nevada has one of the highest uninsured rates in the nation. AIP provides universal coverage — no premiums, no deductibles, no copays. Repaid through Stability Account (capped at $400K).
Education
Lifetime access. 6 AM - 7 PM. Year-round.
Nevada ranks near bottom in education funding. AIP transforms the system: Nordic-style development focus, extended hours, meals included, STEM/Arts/Athletics, no student debt.
Water Security
Las Vegas on the pipeline route.
Lake Mead crisis solved. Columbia River water flows from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas — second major hub on the pipeline. No more rationing. No more drought anxiety.
Jobs
Pipeline construction through Nevada.
SLC to Vegas segment, pumping stations, green energy installations, distribution hub in Las Vegas — thousands of construction and permanent maintenance jobs.
No New Income Tax
Nevada already has no income tax. That stays.
GRT replaces sales tax and adds services. Still no income tax. Still no filing. Nevada's tax advantage preserved.

Median Nevada family of 4, two children in childcare, household income ~$75,000
