Independent investigative news

Welcome to Nye's Lies

We report on Nye County: the meetings, the money, the water, and what your county government does with all of it.

Everything under Nye County government and resources in the menu is public record, organized so you can actually use it: every meeting and agenda, every bill before the county, water rights, campaign money, what every county employee is paid, and where the budget goes. Dig around. It is all yours.

Alerts only when we publish. Unsubscribe any time.

Statewide

Nevada public pensions Beta

78,805 people drew a state pension (NVPERS) in 2025, from TransparentNevada's own yearly files. The largest is $355,717 a year. NVPERS publishes a name and an amount and nothing else: no employer, no job, no years of service. We hold 2020 to 2025.

What we add. The same name on the Nye County payroll (63 of them) or in the state's officer discipline record (9). Those are exact-name matches, and a common name can be a different person, so treat them as a lead and check both links.

This is new software reading a public list. If a row looks wrong, open it on TransparentNevada.
