LETTER: Las Vegas vets should do their part to prevent animal cruelty

In response to letter-writer Ray Kolander (Nov. 13) regarding Gov. Brian Sandoval: One of the big reasons the Republicans are losing statewide is people such as Mr. Kolander marginalizing moderates by using terms for them such as “RINO.” Would you rather have a Steve Sisolak or a centrist such as Gov. Sandoval?

I’m in the Democratic Party, but I am middle of the road and will take a Sandoval every time. We are so lucky he wanted to serve this state rather than pursue greater ambitions. He brought a ton of dignity back to the office after the Jim Gibbons debacle.

Republicans can keep their extremists such as the gun nut they nominated for governor — if they don’t want to win. And how about watching a variety of great American media? Fox News and their dim prophecies are leading us down such a sad path. Oblivion is not imminent.

I don’t know what was worse at the Alaska summit, an American president being humiliated by a former KGB agent or the press coverage.

Recently, two pieces of information came across my radar that, taken together, prompted me to call out the role veterinarians play in creating conditions which make animal abuse much more likely than it might be otherwise.

Is anyone else getting tired of reading how many lawsuits Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is involved in against the Trump administration?

Regarding the article in your Aug. 12 business section about downtown casino owner Derek Stevens replacing table games at one of his properties with “high energy” slot machines: What a crock.

LETTER: A tale of two gerrymanders

If Mr. Jaffe’s goal is to rally readers against partisan gerrymandering, his argument would be far more compelling if it condemned abuses on both sides —especially when the offense in his own backyard is even more blatant.

Rising traffic fatalities and pedestrian deaths dominate local headlines, and the RTC’s Safe Streets for All initiative is gathering public input. Awareness is not the problem — action is.
