Kenny Guinn (R, Incumbent)
|
|
Election Day 2002 was easier for no incumbent governor in the country than Kenny Guinn, who trounced state Sen. Joe Neal by 46 points in a campaign that saw Neal lash out at his party for failing to support his candidacy. Neal's central issue was his proposal to raise taxes on the state's gambling industry. Guinn is an educator who once served as interim president of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. He has cut state expenditures by implementing zero-based budgeting, a system in which state agencies must offer yearly justifications for every dollar they spend rather than simply build on a previous year's allotment. In 2001, the legislature passed his plan to offer every teacher in the state a three percent bonus.
