Day’s news tells a sad story about Las Vegas

I have been living in Las Vegas for more than 43 years and have subscribed to the Review-Journal for at least 35 of those years. Never have I ever been so sickened by our local news as I was on Thursday when reading the “Around the State” column.

From top to bottom, I read the following news, which all took place in Las Vegas:

1. A 2-month-old baby beaten to death.

2. A 4-year-old girl raped and filmed.

3. A 7-year-old boy repeatedly raped by his babysitter.

4. A 6-month old hospitalized last August was determined by the coroner to have been beaten to death.

This city is toast.

Don't miss the big stories. Like us on Facebook.

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?
