So we gave Mark Davis (Raiders owner) millions. Now we are about to do the same thing with the Oakland A’s baseball team. I use Tropicana Avenue to get to the other side town. I can no longer do that because the stadium will be built there.

I have lived here since 1970, and nothing has been done for the locals. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot: We get to pay for casino parking. Thank you. How about doing something for the locals?

Thank you to Richard Strickland, whose May 26 letter to the Review-Journal about the federal debt provides a teachable moment for all of us.

Marco Benitez gets rightfully sentenced to 16 to 40 years for killing someone while driving drunk when Henry Ruggs gets only three years for the same crime?
