LETTER: Pot lounges for Las Vegas are a bad idea

Updated June 2, 2021 - 9:00 pm

Have our lawmakers gone crazy? Don’t they know DUI is a major problem in Nevada? Channel 8 news just reported there were 2,300 arrests in 2020 for drug-related DUIs. Seventy percent of those were for marijuana. Now they want to legalize lounges for smoking marijuana. How do you think the people visiting these lounges will get there? And, more importantly, get back to their homes/hotels? Lawmakers see dollars. I see a lot more deaths on our roadways. Enough already.

LETTER: The carbon-spewing Biden family

Climate change is an existential threat to mankind, animals and plants. Why doesn’t the Biden family lead the way?

LETTER: The Trump show trial

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

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.
