LETTER: Local HOA stymies effort to save water

I have been led to believe that the Las Vegas Valley is facing a critical water shortage. However, when I propose to my homeowners association a change in my landscaping, I am told I have to keep and water plants instead of eliminating them in favor of a desert landscape.

HOA officials explain that they cannot allow me to remove the plants because they have told other residents that they must keep theirs. Is there a drought or not? I can’t get help from anyone at the Las Vegas Valley Water District. They don’t seem to care.

Rules from an earlier time that require keeping plants that require watering should be revised in favor of a more conservative approach. Instead, I am getting from my HOA and the water district a “don’t care attitude,” which is surprising. Is there a water shortage or not?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
