Fantastic. Another success story for the state of Nevada. Now that we have light rail transecting the state, our school systems are No. 1 in the country, our teachers are paid a living wage commensurate with our No. 1 national ranking, and we have finally nailed down water security for the next century … why not waste our taxpayer surplus on a baseball stadium and team? Formula 1 anyone? How about year-round outdoor ice sculptor contests right on Strip?

Sardonic, yes. But it doesn’t mean we can’t have it all just because we live in a desert.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
