Transplants to Nevada need to remember why they came here in the first place

Richard Massi’s Tuesday letter was right on concerning California seniors moving to Southern Nevada. We must also include those from Illinois, New York and other Democratic states with high real estate, income and sales tax rates.

When I meet some of these people, I ask them why they left. The answer is normally related to one or more of the above. I then ask them to remember who caused this and to think about it when they vote.

Not only are retirees moving here, but so are young and middle-aged workers, visionaries and developers. They should ask themselves the same thing: Why did I leave, and why did I choose Southern Nevada?

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

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.
