Condition of UNLV’s Tarkanian statue is depressing

Updated December 10, 2018 - 5:40 pm

Recently, I attended the UNLV versus Cincinnati basketball game. After participating in the family friendly games set up outside the Thomas & Mack, we decided to head over for a picture of the kids sitting in the empty chair next to a statue of our legendary coach, Jerry Tarkanian.

I was taken aback by the condition of the background information boards. They are a part of the statue, and the condition was appalling. You can’t read any of the information on one of the sections.

There must be hundreds of thousands of visitors who walk past this statue every year. Can we make it worthy of Coach Tarkanian’s legacy?

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
