LETTER: Unemployment woes continue

I’m not sure what is going on in the our local unemployment offices, but my experience with them has been strange at best. I filed an initial claim for a wrongful termination on April 24 with DETR.

Three days later I filed a grievance with the Culinary union. The union was able to arrange several meetings with my previous employer, set up and complete litigations, then finally get me a severance pay over the termination by July 22. Here we are at four months later, and my unemployment is in the dreaded “still pending resolution.”

I have called several times, waited through the three minutes of mandatory PSO only to get a message saying no one can take my call. Fortunately I had saved money that got me through to my next job; however those savings are exhausted. How is this system the best the state can give its people?

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

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.

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.

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

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

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.
