LETTER: New local program to help the homeless is a step forward

I was glad to see your Nov. 30 article on the new program to help the homeless in Las Vegas (“New program in Clark County offers housing instead of arrest”). I have been suggesting this for years to elected officials. More homeless shelters don’t solve the homeless problem. Getting the homeless off the streets and into homes/apartments is the solution and more cost effective.

I’m hoping that this new local program gets the majority of Las Vegas homeless who want the help off the streets, permanently. This is a positive for our community.

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.
