State Treasurer Zach Conine and State Senator Julia Ratti are hosting a meeting Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. to get feedback on how to spend billions in pandemic relief funds.

“At a time when the livelihoods of Nevadans have been severely impacted by the pandemic, we have a tremendous opportunity to invest directly in the people and communities who have been hit the hardest,” Conine and Ratti said in the statement.
The event is Wed. Sept. 8 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. It is at the Sparks Recreation Center, 98 Richards Way, in Sparks.
