Steve Sisolak should tackle excess spending by Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority

In an April 2 story, the Review-Journal exposed the blatant and extravagant misuse of taxpayer dollars by board members of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, starting with the chairman and going on down the list that included 10 others. Small wonder why these board seats are so coveted.

Now that this matter has caught the attention of Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak and his board, let’s see what they intend to do about it, shall we?

I have heard Mr. Sisolak express interest in running for governor. If so, wouldn’t this be a wonderful time for him to take the bull by the horns and put a stop to the wasteful spending of our tax dollars?

He just might ruffle the feathers of many “civil servants,” but at the same time he might gain the respect of the people. You can’t put a price tag on honesty and trust.

Finally, we should thank the Review-Journal and its reporters, Arthur Kane, Brian Joseph and Jeff German, for doing a great job bringing this mess to light.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
