LETTER: Bill would preserve the integrity of women’s athletics

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has presented the Protect Women’s Sports Act not to hinder transgender people, but to ensure Title IX remains a strong tool to keep a fair playing field for women. Prior to 1972, when Title IX was passed, women had little access to coaches, fields, equipment or anything necessary to compete. Women’s sports were not provided practice times or uniforms, as they were deemed unnecessary. There were limited sports clubs or schedules.

Look at how strong, independent, bold and proud, women athletes are today. It is unfair to women to be expected to give up almost 50 years of development so that transgender athletes can scoop up all of the prizes. I’m not sure of the best solution, as I believe that all athletes should be allowed a place on the field. But I salute Rep. Gabbard’s attempt to keep things real and fair.

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

I do not question the importance of supporting the fire department. But I do question the importance and priority of projects the City Council regularly spends tax dollars on.

Don’t just vote for someone you would invite to dinner. Vote for someone you would want to run your business.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
