I read the excellent investigative reporting by Mary Hynes on the candidates for Assembly District 6 (Oct. 6 Review-Journal). I don’t know if I should laugh or cry for our neighbors who live in that district. I support returning most rights to ex-felons, but this article was an eye-opener.

Democratic favorite, Jovan Jackson, has had credible allegations of Medicaid fraud and sanctions against him. He has serious past mental health issues and a violent criminal history. He says it was all because of being given the wrong drug by a doctor. He served two years in prison.

The Republican, Nephi ” Khaliki” Oliva, was arrested in 2024 on felony charges involving guns, and there is a whiff of racism in his past public behavior.

The nonpartisan candidate, Walter “Boo” Jones III, who might have forgotten to register as a Democrat, has charged our ex-felon with not living in District 6, as required by law.

Imagine this choice under Question 3 (ranked-choice voting) on this year’s ballot. Would it be helpful?

I was taught from a young age that respect for those in law enforcement was expected, and that if you were ever in a situation where an officer gave you an order, you followed it … period.

LETTER: Blame Nevada voters for high power costs
John M McGrail Las Vegas

Your statement that, “Nevada consumers who are upset at high utility costs should direct their ire to state policy makers” is way off the mark.

Land could be free for first-time home buyers.

Homeowners should be careful not to water when wet weather comes to the valley.
