LETTER: VA chief isn’t even a veteran

President Joe Biden shows his disdain for members of the military and veterans by appointing Denis McDonough as secretary of the Veterans Administration. Mr. McDonough has never served in the military and is not a veteran. To my knowledge, he has never worn a Boy Scout uniform.

The VA is short-staffed and overworked. In other than routine matters, in my opinion, it is woefully inadequate. We need a retired military person in charge of the VA, who understands the frustrations and problems of our veterans.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
