LETTER: Clark County wants to regulate the poor out of business

Members of the Clark County Commission are living in a different universe. They have no common sense when it comes to making laws to regulate street vendors. They are regulating these poor people right out of business, and taxpayers will end up supporting these hard-working people.

I have an idea: Why don’t they give away their products for free, which means no license or health card or insurance required? They can say a gratuity is helpful. They will probably make more money than they did before, and they can set up anywhere they want. There will be a few people who will try to take advantage of them, but the regulatory state will not get a dime. Let’s hear it for free enterprise.

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.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

LETTER: Up, up and away

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.
