LETTER: Don’t pile more burdens on Clark County’s beleaguered teachers

In his Sept. 29 letter, Phillip Palmintere wants Clark County School District teachers to pay for the health trust, which is broke. Really? Why is the trust in such a condition? The prior CEO at $400,000 per year resigned and has no accountability or shame. Of course, the teachers who get sick are to blame, not the incompetent political allies of friends at the top who put them in charge. The district loses 1,000-plus teachers every year, and morale is at an all-time low. So let’s make them pay for that debacle. Shame on you, Mr. Palmintere.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

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.
