Letter: Nuke waste is all about politics

I think the Sun's April 23 editorial, "Gray Lady all wrong on Yucca," was very good. It is easy for the New York Times to be judgmental about Nevada's concerns about Yucca Mountain ... it is not in their back yard and they don't have to deal with it.

New York has 31 House members and two senators. Nevada is about to get its third House seat in November. It's about power politics, plain and simple. We had this rammed down our throat from the beginning and there might be little to be done about it.

I appreciate the Sun's efforts to comment about this -- at least they will know that some people are aware about this and aren't really very happy about it.
