LETTER: Getting wisftul over the empty Las Vegas HOV lane

Updated September 15, 2019 - 1:02 am

Nevada Highway Patrol officials are proud of all the citations they are issuing to hard-working citizens who stray into this lane. Tell me again: Why do we need this lane? All drivers are paying the same amount of fuel tax.
