twitterLetter: Yucca is not our biggest problem
Friday, March 29, 2002 | 9:13 a.m.
Is everyone missing this except me?
Gov. Guinn and our state politicians are talking about calling a special state legislative session. This is to authorize the expenditure of $10 million from the "rainy day" fund to fight the Yucca Mountain project. At the same time we have a crisis that may cost us Nevada's only Class 1 medical trauma unit. We also face the loss of many fine medical professionals due to the malpractice insurance crisis.
I don't know about you, but I think I have more of a chance of dying from loss of available quality emergency medical care than an incident involving Yucca or nuclear waste.
