I totally agree with John Turzer’s Saturday letter about the Brightline rail project. It will make the Las Vegas Monorail look like a gold mine. Remember the initial promises that no taxpayer money will be involved? I’m voting against every politician who — in the picture at the groundbreaking shown in the Review-Journal — celebrated pouring our tax money down the drain. You should to, or it will never end.
