LETTER: GOP infrastructure compromise appears a good deal

Updated June 2, 2021 - 9:00 pm

It looks as if Republicans actually offered an infrastructure bill that adds money for our infrastructure — there’s no pork that doesn’t belong, such as health and child care. Those issues belong in a different bill.

This looks like a plus for America and the first sane, intelligent and moral bill Republicans have worked on in 10 or more years. I hope they support their own compromise and are not just playing unethical games.

I also hope the Democrats agree to at least some of this. Our country’s infrastructure and government is in such awful, pathetic shape. We need this bill desperately. Politics be darned.

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.
