LETTER: Gov. Steve Sisolak puts the screws to adult-oriented businesses

The Review-Journal’s Sept. 30 article “Restrictions relaxed” didn’t tell the whole story about the state’s current response to COVID-19. The article fell short by not reporting about the businesses the governor still mandates remain closed.

Nevada has specifically ignored the adult entertainment industry, as these are the only businesses still closed. I don’t know why the science that allows every other type of business to be open would not also allow at least some adult entertainment businesses to open.

Why is a dancer providing live entertainment in a casino safe for the public, while a dancer providing live entertainment in an adult establishment is not? Couldn’t the state give similar guidance to allow a safe experience? Or could it be the governor’s personal preference has helped keep these businesses completely shuttered since March, targeting these legitimate and licensed Nevada businesses for bankruptcy?

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.
