LETTER: Portland chaos hurts normal citizens

My wife and I lived and worked for around 40 years in Corvallis, Oregon, before moving to Las Vegas 18 years ago. We were dedicated runners, and for many years we would make the 80-mile drive to Portland to do runs, shop and visit relatives and friends.

The normalization of lawlessness is unthinkably destructive to the whole of Portland (“Police, politicians go AWOL in Portland,” Tuesday). Decent people will flee the town and find other places for shopping and recreation. It really won’t take long to poison the nature of the community for many years to come.

LETTER: Why did Question 3 include ranked-choice?

I voted “yes” on Question 3, not for ranked-choice voting, but for a voice in the primary elections as an independent voter.

LETTER: Las Vegas is closed

We don’t need to build more housing for Californians.

LETTER: Reading is fundamental

When kids graduate from high school nowadays — if they graduate — they read at about a third-grade level and comprehension.

LETTERS: Democrats get what they deserved

The future looks bright again for the United States given that some competent people will be taking over for this present group of non-achievers.

LETTER: Do our politicians care what we think?

Don’t expect much, if anything, from our elected officials. Then you won’t be let down when their performance is less than stellar.
