Thanks to the Review-Journal for publishing the recent photo of the hundreds of Nevada citizens standing in the hot sun to buy lottery tickets in California. When will our weak-kneed politicians stand up to the casinos and allow us to buy lottery tickets right here at home? God knows Nevada’s public schools need the revenue.
In his May 21 column, Victor Joecks wrote that we should “stop stressing out about climate change.” On June 3, the Review-Journal featured a story about a survey by UNLV which found that heat is a hot topic.
I give the casinos another two years of giving the shaft to the public before people wise up.
I agree it’s reasonable to call for tighter oversight of mail-in ballot counting (June 6 Review-Journal editorial), but such scrutiny must apply across the board, not just in select areas.
Yet federal program hasn’t connected anyone.
We are grateful for the passage of “Reba’s Law” recently at the Nevada Legislature, but heavier fines and penalties are necessary.
