LETTERS: To beat terror, we need an armed citizenry

The attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., are examples of a pattern of terror that predictably will be repeated in the months and years ahead. No gathering of Americans will be safe. All public gatherings, religious and secular, will be targeted and increasingly vulnerable. Counteractive measures must be planned, organized and implemented.

LETTERS: Juvenile facility cost unfairly criticized

Regarding the article on the juvenile residential facility and the subsequent editorial, I would respond: While comparing the county’s proposed 5,000-square-foot juvenile residential facility, with an estimated cost of $2.9 million, to a multimillion dollar luxury home aids in portraying government excess and waste, such comparisons are simply not fair.

LETTERS: PUC rules in favor of fairness

Regarding the ruling on rooftop solar rates, net metering is no more and no less an extension of a co-generation facility in small scale.

LETTERS: Strip tragedy highlights shortfalls in identifying the needy

The Review-Journal has been updating the story about the young woman who drove onto the sidewalk on the Strip and injured a number of pedestrians, killing one (“Driver faces murder charge,” Wednesday Review-Journal). This was a senseless and tragic act, for which there is no excuse.

LETTERS: R-J should be completely free of bias

As an avid reader of the Review-Journal and someone who likes to follow politics both local and national news, I have to say I am decidedly disappointed in the biased coverage I continually see in the newspaper I love.

LETTERS: Integrity is newspaper’s greatest asset

Under great secrecy, the family of Sheldon Adelson purchased the Review-Journal (“Adelson’s son-in-law led purchase,” Dec. 17).

LETTERS: Teachers contract not really all about the children

It shouldn’t surprise any Clark County taxpayer that teachers in the Clark County Education Association voted to approve a new two-year contract that will set starting salaries at $40,000, an increase of 15.5 percent compared with the current starting salary of about $34,600.
