“One and Done” Dean Heller? Not so fast

Clearly, Wayne Allen Root’s big-money backers and friends in Congress have been thrown into a tizzy by our lone Republican holdout working for the people in Nevada who need the help of Medicaid and other health care services. I hate to disappoint Mr. Root regarding his predictions in his June 29 column. But if Sen. Heller maintains his current position in support of affordable health care and against allowing big-nuclear-energy-using states to force Nevada to choke on their nuclear waste, he will get my vote in 2018.

Instead of being known as “One and Done Dean,” as Mr. Root predicts, it appears to me that Sen. Heller may be known as “Super Hero Heller” for standing up for the little guy against almost all the Republicans in Congress and the president and the vice president.

Nevadans should look west to California, where 100 percent of that huge state’s energy was recently supplied by renewable sources for a stretch of more than nine hours.

LETTER: Biden confused over inflation.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Still after the Jan. 6 protesters

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

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.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

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.
