We all agree we don't want it, but you seem to ignore the expert prediction that there's almost no chance to block the project. In my opinion, the time to prevent it was during the last presidential election, when the state chose the wrong guy.
I can't understand why our leaders think it's OK to waste millions of dollars on a grass-roots ad campaign against Yucca when we have so many more urgent needs.
The level of service by our state government, while never outstanding during the 12 years I've lived here, is horrible. We don't pay our legislators anything. State workers have to wait three years or more for a raise. And try filing an unemployment compensation claim. Mine is taking seven or more weeks to be "adjudicated."
This is an election year, and that's why Gov. Kenny Guinn is going through the motions on this issue.
