Rossi Ralenkotter, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, sure has decided to retire really fast now that he has been exposed (Friday Review-Journal). I thought of an old commercial jingle: “Martini and Rossi on the rocks.” That might describe Oscar Goodman and Mr. Ralenkotter getting free chauffeur service while the taxpayers are taken for a ride.

What a pompous and arrogant person to think he is entitled to a lucrative parachute from a board of directors that must kiss his ring.

Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer, please open up our government. It’s no longer a matter of who is going to win. It’s a matter of the people and country losing.

In her Oct. 26 op-ed, Sen. Jacky Rosen claims to be fighting for everyday Americans, but she doesn’t address the root causes of why the Democrats refuse to vote to reopen the government.
