Nevada’s next Governor knows what he wants to be his first order of business, rename McCarran International Airport after Harry Reid and Reno-Tahoe International Airport after Paul Laxalt. Steve Sisolak made the announcement at Tuesdays Clark County Commission meeting and said he wants the McCarran name change to happen before years end. Reid, who served as a U.S. Senator from 1987 until January 2017 is battling pancreatic cancer.

Sisolak said he’d work with northern Nevada officials to get the name changed at Reno-Tahoe. The late Paul Laxalt, who died in August at the age of 96 was a former Nevada Governor and U.S. Senator. Sisolak defeated Laxalt’s grandson, Adam, in the governor’s race.

Said Sisolak, “They both made massive contributions to the long-term well-being of the state of Nevada, and sometimes we don’t recognize people appropriately.”

The FAA would need to approve any name change.
