Letter: Leaders must remain united

Monday, March 11, 2002 | 8:47 a.m.

I appreciated your March 1 editorial regarding a unified stance against the nuclear waste dump advocated by President Bush. I think it is critical for the business community to step up its commitment to Nevada's citizens, and leverage much greater resources toward the legal efforts to come. What could be more important to a stable tourism economy than the knowledge that it is safe to visit Las Vegas?

I hope that Nevada's business and political leaders will also rally behind Sen. Harry Reid, who represents our best chance to defeat the dump. Over the years he has been instrumental in stopping the nuclear waste dump, crafting important bipartisan coalitions based on sound science. I am hopeful that everyone in the congressional delegation can stay united in the face of enormous political tension, and recognize that we can still defeat this terrible project.
