Ward 6 City Council race highlights problems with system

In regard to your May 25 story on the Ward 6 Las Vegas City Council race:

Why is it that those get the most toys (money) wins? Our American voting system is way out of whack and it makes me sick to my stomach.

Michele Fiore, especially, causes the bile to rise into my throat. She’s more interested in shooting her mouth (and guns) off than representing we, the people, in Ward 6. How dare she go to Oregon and involve herself in the Bundy issue? It was in Oregon at that time, not Nevada.

I believe the people need to have a more level head when they vote: Look what happened to us on Nov. 8. Ugh!

Do not cast your vote for those who raise the most money. That is just obnoxious and obscene on every level.

LETTER: Student protesters leave behind a mess

Those arrested on campus for breaking the law should be given a choice: Thirty days in jail and a criminal record or a garbage bag and gloves.

LETTER: Las Vegas should be happy to welcome the A’s

Many of us look forward to the A’s arriving and appreciate the confidence owner John Fisher has in the Las Vegas area. We will work to make the team successful.

LETTER: Giving Donald Trump a pass

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?
