LETTER: Nevada needs Californians and their business

I was rather amused after reading the Thursday letter from Jeff Sauer. After calling our neighbor to the west “Californistan,” he suggested building a wall across Interstate 15 at Primm.

His missive implied that the Golden State is being hypocritical for calling on federal help regarding the Oroville Dam. He suggests California officials ask Mexico for help, instead.

I find it ironic to read right wingers implying that California is “commie” while they support a president who praises Russia and its communist dictator. Further, I’d suggest that California called for federal help because it is a U.S. state and it has already paid for that help.

I think Mr. Sauer needs to be reminded that California residents represent approximately 30 percent of Las Vegas’s business. With all due respect, my hunch is that every single business owner and employee in Las Vegas wouldn’t think much of Mr. Sauer’s wall-across-the-California-state-line suggestion. Just a hunch.

THE LATEST
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.
