TRPA critic softens stance
Clark County Sen. John Lee said he has not dropped his support of his bill to pull Nevada out of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, but he hopes a pullout will be avoided.
“Right now, the way things are going, we’re working so good together, I’m looking forward to solving any problems,” Lee said.
The TRPA is a joint California/Nevada body authorized by Congress to oversee development in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Lee, a conservative Democrat who was defeated in the Democratic primary in June, sponsored legislation opposed by most northern legislators to pull the state out of the TRPA.
He said he has met with various California officials and is “very satisfied” that an updated regional plan for the basin will be adopted in December. That might eliminate the need for a pullout, he said.
