LETTER: Interstate 15 is becoming a hazard zone

Traveling on Interstate 15 is starting to become very dangerous, especially as you enter the Las Vegas area from the north. During my past two trips to Las Vegas I discovered that, prior to reaching mile marker 80, you get run over if you go any slower than 80 mph. I was passed by roughly 15 cars going between 85 mph and 95 mph.

In the vicinity between Craig Road and East Lake Mead Boulevard, I observed the most glaring example of dangerous, wild and crazy driving I have ever seen. Between three and five vehicles were traveling as high as 90 mph while swerving around and through traffic that was traveling around 70 mph.

If I encountered this on two trips in the past month, I have to wonder: Does this go on every day? And where is law enforcement?

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
