LETTER: Another mask mandate looming?

There is no need to re-institute a mask mandate in Las Vegas — or anywhere else for that matter. It is now generally confirmed by the presumed experts that if you have been vaccinated it is extremely unlikely that you can contract the virus or pass it on to someone else. In other words, no mask is necessary for those who are vaccinated.

Because the vaccines are now widely available to all who wish to receive one, it is clear that those not vaccinated have decided to take their chances. We here in Vegas understand all about taking chances. Some win and most lose, but that is why they call it gambling. Good luck to them.

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
