LETTER: The justice system and Henry Ruggs

It is with great sadness that I read Henry Riggs is almost a free man and housed in a facility for nonviolent offenders (Saturday Review-Journal). He killed a young woman and her dog and this is the consequence? Until the drivers of these crashes get a stiffer penalty and life behind bars, we will continue to read about innocent victims getting killed and the offender getting three to 10 years in prison and being transferred to a transitional facility. Maybe he won’t play pro football, but his life goes on. I feel for the families who lose a loved one under these circumstances.

I can’t say that I have read the entirety of Project 2025. I can definitely say that I am 100 percent in favor of abolishing the Department of Education.

LETTER: Order in the classroom

Even with a new interim superintendent and $281 million just for textbooks and supplies, Clark County students will not be learning as they could and should due to unruly classroom behavior.

LETTER: Instead of abortion, how about birth control?

It is mind-boggling that the most important issue some voters are concerned about is the ability of a mother to abort her unborn child.

LETTER: Why did Question 3 include ranked-choice?

I voted “yes” on Question 3, not for ranked-choice voting, but for a voice in the primary elections as an independent voter.

LETTER: Las Vegas is closed

We don’t need to build more housing for Californians.

LETTER: Reading is fundamental

When kids graduate from high school nowadays — if they graduate — they read at about a third-grade level and comprehension.
