Letter: Mesquite lowering its good standards

Monday, July 19, 1999 | 10:02 a.m.

Hey Mesquite, what happened to you? Wasn't it enough that you were a warm, wonderful little community in a green beautiful valley?

You were steeped in a tradition of kindness and an enviable lifestyle of values, honesty and goodwill. I used to visit my family there many years ago and felt the small-town goodness. Then as you grew, we visited and enjoyed the upscale momentum and growth.

Now who OK'd the insanity of a bull run? To prod large animals to run in July heat and the crowd that wants to witness this. It is a shame, Mesquite, that you've stooped to this to attract money. Please reconsider what you want your lovely valley to be known for.
