Three hurrahs to our comrades in Ohio. Despite rules from the Politburo (Congress) mandating that federal virus relief funds be spent to grow government, Ohio has won a court case and may now decide for itself how to progress.

Ohio is now free to pass tax-cuts that will let working people keep more of their wages and decide for themselves how to spend their hard-earned money. Nevadans should be so lucky. Gov. Steve Sisolak should call that special session and reallocate the $2.7 billion in federal aid to include at least a small sliver for the working class to keep for themselves.

I’m sure Attorney General Aaron Ford and legislative leaders will concur. It’s best for the people.

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.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security
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.
