In Michael Scott Davidson’s Aug. 29 article, Clark County Commissioner Susan Brager announced that she is endorsing against fellow Democrat Justin Jones in the race to replace her in District F. Brager explained that her decision was driven by her dislike of the current “Save Red Rock” campaign, claiming that “Red Rock is already saved.”

Has Brager forgotten the ongoing lawsuit led by Sierra Club-endorsed candidate Justin Jones to stop thousands of homes from being built on Blue Diamond Hill overlooking the National Conservation Area? Does she deny the potential damage to the surrounding area by increasing traffic, generating noise and lowering the value of nearby homes?

Sierra Club members and supporters in Southern Nevada believe that Red Rock needs protection. This is why we support Justin Jones for County Commission. He is the only candidate who will save Red Rock Canyon from wanton sprawl.

Could Mr Joecks explain how many split-second decisions had to be made by the shooters between shots three and four, or five and six, or six and seven, or seven and eight, or eight and nine?
