DOGE NEVADA

Exposing Nevada's government waste, fraud, and abuse while advocating for transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public spending.

More than $575,000 in alleged credit card fraud has surfaced inside the Washoe County School District (WCSD). Reports claim maintenance staff used district-issued P-Cards for duplicate purchases—and that refunds meant for WCSD accounts may have been redirected into personal ones. At the same time, tools and equipment at the district’s Huffaker Maintenance Center have gone missing, with no audits or investigations ever conducted.

The pattern is clear: weak oversight and broken safeguards. Parents believe their money goes to classrooms, teachers, and students—not questionable transactions and untracked equipment. If true, this points to systemic problems in how WCSD manages taxpayer dollars.

Shouldn’t one of Nevada’s largest school districts be held to the highest standard of accountability? What do you think—sloppy management, or something more troubling?

Fernley’s fleet budget doesn’t add up—and taxpayers deserve answers. City records show only about $3 million in actual vehicles and equipment purchased since 2012. But budget reports claim more than $29 million was spent, including a staggering 72% jump in one year. That’s more than eight times what the city’s fleet inventory shows.

So where did the money really go? Are millions being misclassified, hidden in “fleet” to cover other projects, or missing entirely? Fernley’s explanations so far—“accounting classifications” and “one-time projects”—don’t come close to explaining the gap.

When everyday families can track every dollar, why can’t city hall?

What do you think—is this incompetence, or something worse?

An audit of the Nevada Department of Transportation just uncovered $25 million in unaccounted funds—a staggering lapse in oversight at one of the state’s largest agencies. Auditors flagged missing money tied to contracts, reporting gaps, and transactions that lacked proper documentation. In some cases, funds were approved without basic supporting records, leaving taxpayers with no clear trail of where their dollars went.

This isn’t a minor bookkeeping error—it’s a breakdown of accountability at a department that manages billions in taxpayer-funded projects. NDOT’s failures raise serious questions: How long has this been happening? Who’s responsible for ensuring compliance? And how do Nevadans trust future infrastructure budgets when past dollars vanish off the books?

What do you think?

In 2021, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office bought 87 NOPTIC NV3 infrared patrol cameras at a cost of $198,000. The idea sounded good—equip patrol vehicles with cutting-edge tech. But four years later, 40 of those cameras, worth more than $91,000, remain unopened in boxes.

At the current installation rate��roughly a dozen per year—it could take until 2028 to fully deploy equipment that’s already outdated. Meanwhile, new camera systems on the market today are faster, sharper, and available for about the same cost.

This isn’t just wasteful spending. It’s poor planning that leaves officers with weaker tools and taxpayers with the bill. Bulk-buying technology without a plan to use it is a recipe for waste.

What do you think? Who’s accountable for letting $91,000 sit in boxes, collecting dust?

This episode shows how easily emergency aid became a slush fund for pet projects with zero connection to COVID recovery. Without watchdog pressure, taxpayers would’ve paid for a rock-moving scheme while real needs went unmet.

Do YOU want your tax dollars going to fund private art projects?

[DOGE NEVADA @DOGENEVADA]

Nevada taxpayers nearly got stuck with a half-million dollar bill to move rocks. Yes, really. Washoe County signed off on spending $500,000 in federal COVID relief funds to relocate the “Seven Magic Mountains” art installation from outside Las Vegas up north.

[DOGE NEVADA @DOGENEVADA]

County leaders claimed this counted as a pandemic project—even though the proposed Reno airport facility tied to it won’t open until 2037.

After DOGE NEVADA filed a public records request on July 9, 2025, the Nevada Museum of Art backed out. The plan collapsed, and the funds may be redirected to behavioral-health upgrades instead.

I'm working on two new @DOGENEVADA reports to expose some more examples of wasteful spending in NV! What do you want to see first -- how state employees use overtime to rip off taxpayers or how million-dollar nonprofits with rich CEOs devour your tax dollars?
