Where are boards of directors on CEO pay?

It is not only unfair but immoral that CEOs in Las Vegas casinos are paid as high as $23.9 million annually while the average worker makes $39,869, as reported in Thursday’s Review-Journal. Capitalism is great, and we should not impose government controls, as some nations have done, to limit the spread. But no one (even with luck or being at the right place at the right time) is worth the spread of 601 times.

If you are a CEO at the top, the best way to ensure your position is to have a “well-paid” board of directors that votes on your pay. How about a report on directors paid for generally meeting only a few times a year?

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.

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.
