Nevada Policy works “to effectively promote policies that encourage free-market solutions, protect individual liberties, and eliminate unnecessary governmental restrictions on … citizens and businesses.” SPPI’s D. Dowd Muska sat down with the Las Vegas-based think tank recently, for a wide-ranging conversation about the Silver State’s past, present, and future, as well as the key role it plays in helping the American Southwest serve as “a beacon of opportunity for the rest of the country.”

As a former employee of Nevada Policy — back then, it was called the Nevada Policy Research Institute — Dowd knows the Silver State. (He may even move back there one day.) So enjoy this episode of “Free to Offend”!

"Come to #Nevada, come to #Arizona, come to #Texas, and thrive." Our vice president of research @dowdmuska recently sat down with @schausmichael for an episode of @NevadaPolicyRI's podcast "Free to Offend." Check it out!
