Genoa, Nev. — Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members voted in favor of acquiring the Carson Valley Cinemas on Tuesday night. Public comment was overwhelmingly favorable, even after around 80 people sat through the presentation.

Gov. Joe Lombardo’s State of the State Address is 6 p.m. today. Members of UNR’s student government are holding a watch party of the livestream, so I assume that’s available somewhere.
The Sheriff’s Office issued a warning about brushing scams where someone sends you a package with a QR code inside to find out who sent it. It’s a phishing maneuver to get you to click a link, much like the scam texts and emails we get pretty much every day and it’s best never to go down that rabbit hole, if you can help it.
