In this episode, we are joined by Howard Watts, Nevada State Assembly District 15 representative. Howard discusses what is happening in the state to address the economic ramifications of COVID19. He gives an overview of the new system assisting 1099 and Gig Workers while also providing a hint at what the state is and will be working on to best serve Nevadans.
