(Carson City, NV)  –  Taxable sales rose in Nevada for the 27th straight month.

The state Taxation Department says retailers collected more than $3.7 billion in sales during September, up more than 4% from a year earlier.

Nevadans spent more on everything from cars and clothes, to construction-related products.

The state’s Economic Forum, which sets projections lawmakers must use to frame spending for the next two years, is scheduled to meet later today.
