LETTER: Highway robbery!

Another year, another $500 to keep a license plate on my very common, non-luxury car here in Nevada. It’s ridiculous.

While the Legislature is in session, lawmakers should seriously consider lowering the fees to be competitive with other states. No wonder I see so many cars with out-of-state plates with drivers dropping their kids off at local schools. If the rate were competitive, more people would register their cars here. My guess is the state would actually collect more overall revenue.

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
