LETTERS: Pay to park at casino events means a traffic jam

I’m just letting everyone know that if you attend an event with 5,000 people at one of these casinos that are now charging residents for parking, it will take you a long time to get out.

LETTER: Victor Joecks’ recent commentary on early education doesn’t tell the whole story

Generally speaking, when children enter kindergarten ready to learn academically, socially, physically and emotionally, savings result from reduced spending in remedial care, retained grade levels and special education — and later in life through law enforcement, prisons, social work, welfare and other support services.

LETTER: A great manifesto for the new hater

I didn’t vote for Donald Trump — or, for that matter, Hillary Clinton — yet I struggle with Mr. Hayden’s “do as I say, not as I do” logic.

LETTER: Populists who voted for Donald Trump made a big mistake

Triple-billionaires do not care if you lose your jobs. Out-of-control capitalism cares even less. You are being used. You are suffering for their profit lust. Mr. Trump is billionaire. Get it?

When a person defeats 17 others within his own party to move on to challenge the opposing party’s career candidate, then defeats that candidate in the general election — and you add to it the loss of the Senate Democrat majority and the expansion of the Republican House majority — any nonpartisan onlooker would call that a mandate.

LETTERS: Obamacare repeal must not occur without a GOP alternative

I hope Sen. Dean Heller joins other responsible Republican senators who caution that precipitous repeal of the Affordable Care Act without legislating an immediate replacement will have a devastating impact on our health-care system and thousands of Nevada citizens.
