LETTER: Time for Southern Nevada pols to limit development

When I moved to Las Vegas in 2000, the news was centered on the lack of water for Clark County residents. Recently the Review-Journal has printed more news items reiterating the same thing.

In the past 20-plus years, our “all-knowing” leaders have allowed more than 250,000 houses and well more than 750,000 apartments to be built. Now the “all knowing” are allowing that growth to multiply. They are allowing commercial buildings to be built while many are standing idle. When is this stupidity going to end?

The second item is the failure of the highway engineers and inspectors to come to their senses and start building the streets and highways so that they are not death traps. They look like snakes going through most of our residential areas.

It is time that the citizens of Clark County to “drain the swamp” and get competent leaders and planners.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

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.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
