LETTER: The mean streets of Mesquite

Another story about Mesquite has me worried (“Colleague of Mesquite councilman leaves nonprofit board,” Wednesday Review-Journal). It’s getting rough here, and I don’t know if it’s safe any longer.

Just the other day I saw two seniors jockeying for the handicapped spot closest to the front door of Walmart, and I thought one of them might actually swear. My wife spotted a line-jumper in the pharmacy at Walgreens and was barely able to brush him back. On top of that, I thought I was going to lose an arm reaching for the largest crab cluster at one of the local seafood buffets.

It’s getting so bad I’m thinking of trying to crash the perimeter of walkers surrounding the airport to escape. It’s tough on the mean streets of Mesquite.

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.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

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.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
