twitterLetter: Crash serves as warning to state
Sunday, Aug. 13, 2000 | 9:17 a.m.
If the waste comes, we will all be left to watch and wonder whether the next huge plume of black smoke appearing across the valley carries a death sentence for some unlucky residents. Prepare to say goodbye to our lucrative tourism industry if there is a single -- even minor -- incident involving nuclear waste transported on Interstate 15 or U.S. 95.
We must now join together and insist that Gov. Kenny Guinn pin down fellow Republican Gov. George W. Bush, the GOP presidential nominee, to a specific position for or against the Yucca Mountain waste repository. Nothing less than the lifeblood (figuratively and literally) of Las Vegas is at stake.
