LETTER: How about a Las Vegas trolley?

Before we invest money on a high-speed train from Las Vegas to Southern California, we should think of a trolley in Clark County. We could use the Union Pacific track from downtown to Boulder City and downtown to the Las Vegas Speedway. Maricopa County in Arizona has a trolley from downtown Phoenix to Mesa that uses the local railroad track. San Diego uses the local railroad track for its trolley system.

The Clark County trolley would relieve traffic on Interstate 15 and Interstate 215. People could ride the trolley to Raider and Golden Knight games and not have to worry about parking. The trolley could take people to the Las Vegas Speedway. People could use the trolley to go to the Strip. They could drink alcohol and be sober by the time they reached their return destination. There are plenty of places for trolley stations.

It’s time to think outside of the box.

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.
