The Statewide Cyberattack, the Problem with a New Airport, and the A's Plan a Vegas Vacation

As the week wraps up, the fallout from the cyberattack that downed state government systems from Medicaid to the DMV continues to impact Nevadans — so why didn't Governor Lombardo show up at the first press briefing about it, and did his appearance yesterday give us any more answers? Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler chat with Nevada Current editor April Corbin Girnus about the political implications of the attack, as well as why plans for the new airport by Jean are facing criticism from environmentalists, and whether the A's upcoming six-game stint at the Las Vegas Ballpark makes us feel more or less hopeful about their arrival.
