Letter: State needs unity against dump

Friday, April 13, 2001 | 9:32 a.m.

In the fight against Yucca Mountain we should remember that politicians and citizens who think we should negotiate with Washington have the same free speech guarantee as we do. Their opposite views are an opportunity for debates.

In the 1970s and '80s there were many politicians and citizens who were pro-nuclear. Given the small population then in Nevada, it is understandable.

We now need a bipartisan effort, North and South, with less argument and more debate to make certain Congress doesn't force the Yucca Mountain nuclear dump on us.

"United we win."

Divided they dump.
