LETTER: Up, up and away

The Las Vegas City Council has outlawed the release of helium-filled balloons (Thursday Review-Journal). Members of the board claim the practice is ruining the environment.

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