LETTER: Generous Las Vegas philanthropists

Kudos to Shelley Berkley for her acknowledgement of the extraordinary contributions to this community by Kris Engelstad McGarry (Jan. 19 commentary). I have long been aware of her sponsorship behind so many of this city’s important nonprofits. I would like to add to that long list the sponsorship of the Tim Burton exhibition at the Neon Museum. This community is richer in so many ways thanks to this generous “behind the scenes” woman.

Thank you also to Ms. Berkley, who has also contributed so much to Southern Nevada. My fundraising hat is off to you both.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
