LETTER: Nevada gets loads of federal stimulus money

Updated May 18, 2021 - 5:03 pm

I am so very happy our state received $2.7 billion in federal coronavirus aid (Thursday Review-Journal). Now the state can reimburse me for my loss of income due to Gov. Steve Sisolak not allowing landlords to evict tenants who do not pay their rent. My two rentals plus a small Social Security payment are my income.

Meanwhile I continued to have to pay taxes and bills for sewer use, trash collection, exterminator services, repairs and insurance. I am owed, so far, 14 months rent. I have also had to pay for their water, for which they are supposed to reimburse me (and haven’t).

There are precious few places that a retired senior can safely invest her money for any decent return. My rentals were keeping me afloat until the governor essentially took my income and gave it to two deadbeats who are living in my rental house.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
