LETTER: School district fronts money to teachers union health plan

Flying under the radar last month was news that TNT Health, the organization that administers Clark County School District’s teachers union health insurance plan, was insolvent and receiving a $35 million bailout from the district’s elected School Board. There seems to be little transparency on how TNT ran low on money.

As someone who is familiar with the health insurance industry, I know that most insurance plans are seeing decreased expenses as members have not been able to schedule elective surgeries nor been able to see their providers in person during the pandemic. So TNT’s insolvency seems suspect, at best. TNT could remedy this by agreeing to an independent forensic audit of its finances, and that is something the School Board should mandate.

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.
