I think the Vegas Golden Knights are a first-class organization. I’ve been to seven games, including SRO for the first-ever playoff game. Believe me, at 68 years old, that’s no easy feat.

I think, however, team officials missed a golden opportunity to say thanks to all their many loyal fans. A 50 percent hike in ticket prices between the second and third rounds seems a bit much. How refreshing it would have been to hear, “We want to thank the thousands of fans who have supported us from the beginning that we’ll not raise the ticket prices for the third round. Thank you, Vegas fans.”

Someone is making a lot of money from us fans. Sometimes a little gesture to your fans would be a welcomed sign.

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.

LETTER: Rosen shutdown essay ignores salient points
Rick Kern Incline Village

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.
