LETTER: Jan. 6 and conspiracies

I was shocked by our senators’ votes to march the government idiotically toward shutdown.

With a few budget “haircuts” here and there, the prospects of a balanced federal budget are much closer to reality. What a novel concept.

About the criticisms of the “please come to Nevada” campaign: What can a slogan, no matter how compelling or clever, do when the deck is stacked against us?

What I don’t get is why, with the water crisis, we continue to build around 12,000 new homes here in Las Vegas every year.

Southern Nevada consumers lose.

New regulations are killing Las Vegas trees.

It would be a short-lived peace.

This is a dangerous time.

A message of faith, love and hope.

A woman gets probation for pulling out a gun and firing shots at a group of individuals on the Strip? Insanity.
