New Nevada traffic ticket laws to go into effect
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada lawmakers unanimously passed and Gov. Joe Lombardo signed a proposal to amend the state's traffic-ticket system. Senate Bill 359, which will become law Oct. 1, gives courts flexibility to reduce the amount a driver needs to pay upfront. Courts interpreted the current law as a driver having to pay the full amount of a ticket before a hearing. The 8 News Now Investigators first looked into the issue this spring when a retiree had to pay her $417 ticket in full before her court hearing. Before Senate Bill 359, Nevada law required her to pay the fine in full — whether she wanted to fight the ticket or not. Since 2021, Nevada lawmakers, both Democrats and Republicans, have changed most traffic infractions, like a speeding ticket, to be a civil infraction, not a criminal one. That means tickets no longer carry the threat of jail time, and missed court appearances do not really matter in the long run since the court may already have your money. Democratic State Sen. Melanie Scheible sponsored the change, which passed unanimously. The governor signed it last week. In addition, changes written in Senate Bill 359 now combine civil and criminal infractions — minor speeding offenses versus driving without a license — and allow a judge to deal with both in one hearing. The new law also gives judges more discretion, not a 'presumption in favor' to reduce a traffic ticket to a nonmoving violation should the driver pay all their fines and have a good driving record.

Republican interest for Musk cools after his feud with Trump, new poll finds
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tech billionaire Elon Musk has lost some of his luster with Republicans since his messy public falling-out with President Donald Trump last week, a new survey finds. Fewer Republicans view Trump's onetime government efficiency bulldog 'very favorably' compared with April, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Though most Republicans continue to hold a positive view of Musk, their diminished fervor suggests his vocal opposition to Trump's signature spending and tax cut legislation — and Musk's subsequent online political and personal taunts — may have cost him some enthusiasm within the party. 'Some things have happened lately that have changed how I feel about him a little,' said Alabama Republican Katye Long, whose feelings for Musk have cooled to 'somewhat favorable.' 3 Republicans are growing less and less favorable of Elon Musk following their public feud on X. AP 'I liked what he was doing when he was helping. But now I feel like he's kind of hurting,' said the 34-year-old automotive component factory employee and mother of three from Woodstock, Alabama. 'I also don't feel like he matters that much. He's not actually part of the government. He's just a rich guy who pushes his opinions.' Musk's overall popularity hasn't shifted, the poll found, and most of the shift among Democrats and Republicans was between 'very' and 'somewhat' strong opinions. Americans are less likely to view him favorably than his electric vehicle company, Tesla. That said, about half of Americans have a negative opinion of Tesla, highlighting another challenge for Musk when the company has dropped in value and been the target of protests in the U.S. and Europe. About one-third have a favorable view of Tesla, while about 2 in 10 don't know enough to say. Republicans' enthusiasm waned, but so did Democrats' antipathy Even a subtle shift in the intensity of Republicans' feelings about Musk could be important as the electric car and aerospace mogul weighs a second political act after spending about $200 million in service of Trump's 2024 election effort. After decrying the GOP's massive tax and budget policy bill as 'a disgusting abomination,' Musk wrote on X, his social media platform, 'In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.' The poll suggests the messy feud with Trump may have rubbed some Republicans the wrong way, as the share of Republicans viewing Musk as 'very favorable' has dropped from 38% in April to 26% now. At the same time, antipathy toward Musk among Democrats has waned a little. About two-thirds, 65%, of Democrats have a very negative view of Musk, down slightly from about three-quarters, 74%, in April. Musk's bitter back-and-forth with Trump has business implications, too. Tesla was already struggling with a backlash against Musk's association with Trump. Sales across Europe plunged by half in May, even as growth in the electric car market accelerated. Then the company's shares plunged in value when Musk began sparring publicly with the president. 3 Elon Musk's public onslaught against President Trump came after a chummy White House send-off given to him. AP Victoria Brown, of Kansas City, Kansas, rated Tesla 'somewhat unfavorable' because she objects to how Trump is conducting his administration and links the company's owner with the president's agenda. 'I don't favor Trump. So, pretty much the fact that they have been working together means I don't care too much for Tesla,' said Brown, 63, a political independent and an insurance agent. Musk's overall approval remains unchanged While the intensity of people's feelings about Musk may have changed, their overall opinions have not. About one-third of U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of Musk, compared with about 6 in 10 who hold an unfavorable view, while about 1 in 10 don't know enough to say. That's unchanged from the April poll. The new poll was conducted June 5-9, after Musk left his government role and began attacking Trump's marquee legislative priority. Musk's public clash with Trump began four days after Trump honored Musk effusively during an Oval Office event discharging him from duties as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. After first tearing down the budget bill, Musk two days later complained he had never seen the language, and he aimed his fire at Trump, suggesting the president didn't sufficiently appreciate the role Musk assumed as the chief benefactor to Trump's reelection effort 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk wrote. 'Such ingratitude.' Musk went on to claim without evidence that the federal government was concealing information about Trump's association with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Musk deleted the post, and early Wednesday he stepped back from his attacks on Trump, writing on X that he regretted some of his posts and they 'went too far.' 3 Musk claims that without him, Trump would not have won the 2024 Presidential election. REUTERS Views of Tesla are far more negative than other car companies Tesla endured a difficult first quarter in 2025, with its sales falling while the world's leading electric car manufacturer faced protests in showrooms. The new poll also shows that Tesla is viewed far more negatively than some of its peers — notably, Ford, Toyota and General Motors. Only about one-third of U.S. adults have a 'very' or 'somewhat' favorable view of Tesla. About half of U.S. adults have an unfavorable opinion of Tesla, including 30% of Republicans. Democrats, at 66%, are more than twice as likely as Republicans to have a negative view of Tesla. But even among Republicans, Tesla is viewed less favorably than the other brands. Marisa Mills is no Musk fan. The 41-year-old teacher from Oakland, California, objects to his association with Trump and what the Democrat sees as their misguided notion that government is always well served by operating like a business. And yet she was once proud to have Tesla building cars in her own county. She soured on the company in 2020, when Musk sued Alameda County over its workplace restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, before he moved the company to Texas in 2021. 'My government is supposed to serve the people, not his company. We were all glad to see him go,' Mills said. 'I do regret that we now have feelings of regret for the Tesla car product. We were once so proud.' Beaumont reported from Des Moines, Iowa. The AP-NORC poll of 1,158 adults was conducted June 5-9, using a sample drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for adults overall is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The Wick 338 is gearing up for The National on June 28
SOUTHWICK — When some of the world's best motocross racers line up to take on The Wick 338 for the Crestview Construction Southwick National on June 28, the 450 class will feature some of the more experienced racers battling the young superstars of the sport. 'It will be a bit of the young versus the old,' said Wick 338 General Manager Rick Johnson about two of the sport's most recognizable names, Eli Tomac, 32, and Jett Lawrence, 21. Advertisement 'Both have been dealing with injuries this season, but they'll be here,' Johnson said Thursday. Tomac, of Colorado, broke his fibula in February during a qualifying race in Tampa but returned to the track in early May. Lawrence, from Australia, tore his ACL in February and also returned in May. Both have come back as strong as ever, with Lawrence, a Honda factory rider, coming in first in the 450 class at Thunder Valley Pro in Lakewood, Colorado, last weekend. Finishing just behind Lawrence was Tomac, a Yamaha factory rider, in second place. 'Jett really respects Eli,' Johnson said, adding that after last weekend's race when the cameras were pointed at Lawrence after his win, he told the camera crews not to forget Tomac. Advertisement Coming in third was Aaron Plessinger, known as 'The Cowboy,' who's also scheduled to compete at The National. 'He's one of the most beloved racers,' Johnson said of Plessinger. From Ohio, Plessinger picked up the nickname because of his signature cowboy hat, long hair, and laid-back style. 'He's just always got a smile on his face,' Johnson said. In the 250 class, Haiden Deegan, of California, returns to the National after finishing second at Thunder Valley, with his Yamaha experiencing overheating issues. There was some pushback from other teams just before last year's National involving Deegan after he got in some practice laps at The Wick. Advertisement Johnson said riders can't practice on a track five days before the race. Deegan's practice laps were 10 days before, he said. Deegan has been battling Honda factory rider Jo Shimoda all season, with Deegan leading the standings in the 250 class. Other 250 competitors expected is Spain's Jorge Prado and French rider Tom Vialle. Johnson said a portion of the track has been modified for this season. A jump that was directly across from the American Legion Post 338 building was removed. 'It just didn't set up well and tended to have racers following one line. With the jump gone, we expect to see more passing in that section,' Johnson said. Advertisement The good news for race fans? Ticket prices for general admission remain what they were last year. And, unusually, there are a limited number of VIP tickets available and the 'Preferred Viewing Area,' which Johnson called the 'best view' and 'most exciting' place to watch the race. There are also a limited number of general admission pit passes available, he said. Saturday's race will draw 160 riders from 40 factory teams with the rest racing as privateers, which Johnson called the 'grassroots of motorcross racing.' 'They really are the foundation. That's the beauty of this sport,' he said of the privateers. Advertisement While Johnson said there has been no shortage of companies from all over asking about being the title sponsor, Crestview Construction Inc., returns again this year. 'They are not only a sponsor, but a partner 365 days a year. I just can't say enough about how important Crestview is to The Wick,' he said. Before last year's race, the track was washed out three times because of rain. 'Without them, we never would have made it,' he said last year. Also returning as sponsors this year are Ray's Tree Service, which keeps the trees on the track trimmed to allow everyone who attends to see the action, Lashway Lumber of Willamsburg, Associated Building Wreckers, Inc., out of Springfield, and Moolicious Farm, which provides food and beverages at locations around the track.
