It sure appears that North Las Vegas Constable Robert Eliason has the Clark County Commission’s number. He played commission members by requesting a two-week extension — on the matter of his failure to become certified — when the county put the issue on its calender. He then filed suit claiming a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Because the commissioners failed to do their jobs and act last year, the taxpayers of this county will probably pay his pension — and legal fees — after he hits 36 months in a position he has unlawfully held for more than a year.

Bravo, commissioners. You totally failed on this one.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

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.

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.
