LETTER: Gov. Lombardo has landlords’ backs

Gov. Joe Lombardo was right in realizing that Senate Bill 335 would have put onerous burdens on landlords to evict nonpaying tenants. If anything, the easier it is to get rid of nonpaying tenants, the easier it is for tenants who need a second chance with “iffy” credit to find housing and for rents to stay affordable.

Tenants who know they can be evicted are more likely to pay on time and be decent tenants. Democrats and the Legal Aid Center do not want tenants to be evicted, period.

There were also a number of bills that legislative Democrats wanted to pass regarding rent control that luckily did not make it into law. They would have hurt the affordable rental market. Just look to California, which has crazy rent control (think Santa Monica and San Francisco). The state also has made it difficult to evict nonpaying tenants. Look how affordable rents in California are. They are out of control and that would happen in Las Vegas.

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.

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.
