A Nevada conservative activist is launching a number of PACs designed to recall three southern Nevada Republicans who haven't staked out a strong anti-tax stance.
Citizen Outreach President Chuck Muth said he's helping oversee political action committees designed to recall Republican Assembly members Chris Edwards, Stephen Silberkraus and Speaker-designate John Hambrick because they haven't publicly committed to voting against the proposed tax increases in Gov. Brian Sandoval's budget.Â
Sandoval proposed adding or extending $1.1 billion in taxes over the next two years primarily to fund K-12 education.
Edwards said the PACs were "out-of-line." Hambrick said he signed a pledge to not raise taxes several years ago, and wanted to look at the details of the budget before making a decision.Â
Silberkraus couldn't be reached for comment.
