“人人参与、无分党派”在内华达的选举考验
近年来,围绕“人人参与、无分党派”的口号,美国各州不断就选举制度展开争论。表面上,所有人都同意选举应该公平包容;但在具体落实时,什么叫“人人能参与”、如何才能“无分党派”,却有截然不同的理解。在摇摆州之一的内华达州,这一问题尤其突出:邮寄投票要不要宽松?身份证明算不算门槛?投递箱要开多少、放在哪些地方?选民名册该如何清理?这些看似技术性的规则,背后都牵动着党派立场与选民参与度,也直接决定了“公平”到底意味着什么。
The Real Test of “Fair Participation Without Partisan Divide” in Nevada’s Elections
In recent years, the slogan of “fair participation for all, regardless of party” has been widely invoked in debates over America’s electoral system. On the surface, everyone agrees that elections should be inclusive and equitable. Yet when it comes to implementation, the meaning of “everyone can participate” or “nonpartisan fairness” looks very different depending onContinue reading “The Real Test of “Fair Participation Without Partisan Divide” in Nevada’s Elections”
小费免税:暂时的胜利与未来的考验
作者|内华达华人视角 在今年夏天的国会大戏里,“小费免税”无疑是最贴近普通服务业工人的一条新政。它意味着,餐厅服务员、美容师、赌场发牌员、酒店侍者——这些在内华达随处可见的岗位——终于不用再为辛苦挣来的小费交税。对很多家庭而言,这不只是几百美元的节省,而是一份稳定感与被认可的尊严。 然而,这份胜利目前仍有时间限制——相关条款只是一个“四年期的临时安排”,将于 2028 年到期。能否把它从“阶段性政策”变成“长期法律”,系于那部已在参议院全票通过的《No Tax on Tips Act》。问题在于,法案进入众议院后迟迟停留在税务与财政委员会,尚未排入正式议程。小费免税的未来,仍存变数。
No Tax on Tips: A Temporary Victory and a Future Test
By|Nevada Chinese Perspective This past summer, one of the most eye-catching developments on Capitol Hill was the “No Tax on Tips” provision. For service workers—restaurant servers, beauticians, casino dealers, hotel staff—jobs that define daily life in Nevada, this policy means no longer having to pay federal income tax on their hard-earned tips. For many families,Continue reading “No Tax on Tips: A Temporary Victory and a Future Test”
从“修路修桥”到新能源:三部联邦法案如何改变内华达的就业版图
在短短四年里,三部联邦法案相继落地,让内华达的就业版图发生剧烈变化:先是“修路修桥”的基建岗位大量增加,接着清洁能源投资掀起新能源就业热潮,而最新的“大而美法案”又让补贴骤然收紧。眼下,内华达正站在转折点,既面临岗位减少的风险,也握有锂矿和电池产业带来的新机遇。
From Roads and Bridges to Clean Energy: How Three Federal Laws Are Reshaping Jobs in Nevada
In just four years, three major federal laws have dramatically reshaped Nevada’s employment landscape. First came a surge of infrastructure jobs from building roads and bridges, followed by a boom in clean energy employment fueled by record investments. Now, the newest “One Big Beautiful Bill” has pulled back subsidies, hitting the brakes on growth.

华人也在其中:选民登记危机与我们的未来
最近,美国主流媒体报道了一组令人担忧的数据:自 2020 年以来,在全美 30 个允许按党派登记的州里,民主党都出现了净流失,而共和党则普遍增加。四年间,民主党可能减少了两百万甚至更多登记选民。 乍一听,这似乎是“两党角力”的故事,和华人社区没有太大关系。但事实上,选民登记的趋势会直接影响移民、教育、医保、治安等公共政策,而这些议题,恰恰与每一位在美华人的日常生活息息相关。
Chinese Americans in the Picture: The Voter Registration Crisis and Our Future
Recently, major U.S. media outlets reported a troubling trend: since 2020, in all 30 states that allow party-affiliated voter registration, Democrats have experienced net losses while Republicans have generally gained. Over four years, the Democratic Party may have lost as many as two million registered voters. At first glance, this might sound like just anotherContinue reading “Chinese Americans in the Picture: The Voter Registration Crisis and Our Future”
