LETTER: Commissioners honor Harry Reid with airport name change

My main issue with the renaming airport is not as much the name change but the process. Seven Clark County commissioners, all of the same political bent, made such a huge decision without any regard to the more than 2 million residents in the valley.

First, they dug out the late Pat McCarran’s past to justify the change without much regard for the good he accomplished. Then they proclaimed the almost sainthood of Harry Reid. Many short memories apparently.

A further justification was that no public funds will be used and all costs will be donated. Like that is the basis for the public’s approval. There is also great disappointment that the Review-Journal supported this sham.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
