Please express my thanks to all members of the Review-Journal staff who worked on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority scandal story. The community owes the newspaper a debt of gratitude for exposing the inner workings of the authority’s “cartel.” I doubt your reporters hear compliments often from the public. The financial abuse that went on for years at the convention authority was finally stopped.

At least former LVCVA CEO Rossi Ralenkotter was fined for violating state ethics laws (Aug. 21 Review-Journal). I would have thought it would have been more than $24,000. I am disappointed that they panel gave him until Dec 31, 2021, to pay the fine. Please note this date on an internal calendar so actual payment can be verified. As has been mentioned in previous articles, such fines sometimes are forgotten.

I also wish Oscar Goodman’s abuse of the LVCVA system could have been addressed by the state, too. The ridiculous deal he got was a crime.

Anyway, we appreciate the fine work of the Review-Journal’s investigative reporters.

It is only a matter of time before a driver runs over one of the near-invisible e-motorists. And nobody wants to be that driver when such a simple solution exists.

Recently, two pieces of information came across my radar that, taken together, prompted me to call out the role veterinarians play in creating conditions which make animal abuse much more likely than it might be otherwise.

Is anyone else getting tired of reading how many lawsuits Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is involved in against the Trump administration?
