ELKO, Nev. (AP) - Gov. Jim Gibbons is hitting the road this week for what he calls his "Nevada Road to Recovery Tour."
The first-term Republican plans to visit the opera house in Eureka at noon on Wednesday and the East Ely Railroad Museum at 6 p.m.
On Thursday, he'll attend a community meeting at noon at the Northeastern Nevada Museum in Elko and the Humboldt County courthouse in Winnemucca at 6 p.m.
Gibbons said he wants to gather input from rural Nevadans about the state's budget crisis.
He said he wants to know if people are prepared to pay higher taxes or want the Legislature to make further spending cuts. He said state lawmakers in Carson City sometimes forget the needs and wishes of the voters who sent them there.
