A couple of weeks ago, a video from the Chair of the Legislative Committee to Review Oversight of the Lake Tahoe Regional Planning Agency popped up in my Instagram feed. She was sharing about her role overseeing planning agencies in the Lake Tahoe Basin, and it was a timely reminder of how much work happens after the Legislature gavels out.

When the Legislative Session ends, the Interim Session begins.

Earlier this month, the newly created Regional Rail Transit Working Group held its first meeting. This group, authorized during the last session, is tasked with studying regional rail options, including the heavily congested I-80 corridor to Storey County. During the interim, lawmakers, agencies, and community partners are digging into issues ranging from education and housing to the Nevada Youth Legislature and rural behavioral health.

While we won’t see new bills introduced until 2027, the work very much continues. These interim conversations, studies, and working groups are where ideas are shaped, relationships are built, and momentum begins, long before a bill ever gets a number.

So I’m curious: what issues are on your mind right now?
What should LEAN be paying attention to, organizing around, and preparing for in the months ahead?
