LETTER: Open Las Vegas senior centers

I was happy to see the recent letter from Sharon Reynolds regarding our closed senior centers in Las Vegas. I love the way some places are just considered too dangerous. There is no reason why we cannot follow healthy behavior in our centers as well as we do in stores, bars, etc.

The centers offer more than socializing for older citizens, I have been taking aerobics and yoga for more than 20 years and credit it for my good health. I realize I should be able to do it on my own, but like most people, I don’t. I need the teacher, fellow participants and having to pay so I have some skin in the game. I need the structure, and I want my center open or be given a good reason as to why not.

Gov. Steve Sisolak says we are crippling our great state and destroying our incredible city to protect the elderly. I have been taking care of myself for 82 years, and I intend to continue to do so. Does anyone else find it ironic that we are protecting the old while aborting the babies?

I did write to the governor, but did not get a response. I really would like to know what the plan is.

This is progress? Four years and billions of dollars to build a roughly 200-mile stretch of rail from California to Nevada.

LETTER: Misinformation on inflation

The Biden administration is going all out to convince people that inflation is not as bad as it really is.

LETTER: A Trump-Biden cage debate

I would love to see a debate between our two presumptive presidential candidates. Just the two of them, one-on-one.

LETTER: Groundbreaking on a rail line to California

I’m voting against every politician who — in the picture at the groundbreaking shown in the Review-Journal — celebrated pouring our tax money down the drain.

LETTER: Nevada’s open space is a gift

The governor’s suggestion to release more of Nevada’s federally owned land is a form of federal spending and diminishes Nevada’s gift of open space.
