I cannot believe that the Clark County School District is in such bad shape that we’re going to allow substitutes with only high school diplomas to teach our children (Tuesday Review-Journal). No wonder we rank 49th out of 50 states in education.

With all the supposed money flowing into the state from federal funds, why are we not looking to raise starting salaries and then recruit college graduates from other states? There is a reason no one wants to teach in Southern Nevada. The education administration needs to take a good long look at the reasons and prepare solutions. Our children will continue to suffer, and I suspect they already are. This is a real tragedy.

Could Mr Joecks explain how many split-second decisions had to be made by the shooters between shots three and four, or five and six, or six and seven, or seven and eight, or eight and nine?

Elections determine who governs. They do not eliminate the need for limits on executive power.
