Federal prosecutors shouldn’t have blank checks

After reading in the May 24 Review-Journal how more than $1 million in taxpayer money had been spent on lawyers in the Bundy case, I was shocked to learn that doesn’t even include how much the U.S. Department of Justice has spent. They would not comment when asked.

That same day, the Review-Journal featured another story about a local attorney claiming to be the victim of a witch hunt. Also we read about all the illegal wiretapping and surveillance being done by our local and federal agencies. Who oversees them and and why are they not being held accountable for their actions?

It’s time the taxpayers stop the blank checks.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Jacky Rosen, drug prices and inflation

I don’t believe she has malicious intentions, but at the very least she’s been thoughtless when considering the ramifications of how the overwhelming majority of her votes affect the very people who elected her.

LETTER: Fair share?

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

LETTER: Donald Trump not fit to be president

His loyalty is to himself and himself alone. He has neither the energy nor the ability to make complex decisions.

LETTER: Henderson City Council and all its pet projects

I do not question the importance of supporting the fire department. But I do question the importance and priority of projects the City Council regularly spends tax dollars on.

LETTER: Has Kamala Harris ever run a business?

Don’t just vote for someone you would invite to dinner. Vote for someone you would want to run your business.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
