Can Las Vegas Fix Its Overcrowded Pet Shelters? Plus, Anger Towards NV Energy and Saving Downtown History

Even as the Las Vegas Valley’s largest nonprofit animal shelter has routinely dealt with overcrowding, Henderson’s shelter recently reported a live release of 91 percent so far this year. So what’s making the difference – and can the rest of the city replicate that success? Yvette Fernandez, Regional Reporter in the Mountain West News Bureau for Nevada Public Radio, and executive producer Layla Muhammad join host Jesse Merrick to find out. Plus, the team discusses why NV Energy executives are drawing protests amid surging energy costs, and whether new life for a downtown motel could spell the start of a wider revitalization.
