Las Vegas NowNV Controller says No Duplicate in Stimulus Roles
The Nevada controller's office says there will be no duplication of reporting by it or the governor's office when it hires a stimulus coordinator next month.
Assistant Controller Mark Taylor says Gov. Jim Gibbons, by his executive order in August, took control of the $2.2 billion in federal stimulus money Nevada is expected to receive and is "100-percent responsible" for filing required reporting documents by Oct. 10.
Charles Harvey, former assistant Clark County assessor, was appointed by Gibbons as state American Recovery and Reinvestment Act director.
Taylor says the controller's office will provide more of an "auditing" function.
He says Controller Kim Wallin expects to name a coordinator in her office by mid-October.
