LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

I find the comments by Assemblywoman Robin Titus and Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman interesting. They criticize Gov. Steve Sisolak’s actions for reopening the state of Nevada, saying he is “trying to hold onto” his seat (Wednesday Review-Journal). I thought that was how government was supposed to work. We the people vote for who will represent us.

It is nice when an elected official acts according to how “we the people” ask him to act. I may not be totally correct, but I believe most of us want to get back to a normal life. Thank you, Gov. Sisolak for listening to the people.

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.

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.
