Letter: State GOP plays game on Yucca

Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2003 | 8:41 a.m.

Nevada Attorney General Brian Sandoval is reportedly filing a formal complaint with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. A series of meetings between the NRC and the Environmental Protection Agency to discuss Yucca Mountain is not open to Nevada officials.

Seems the Republican Sandoval, chair of George Bush's Nevada re-election committee, lacks political clout. Sandoval should seek Gov. Kenny Guinn for help.

It was Guinn at Bush's recent money fest in Las Vegas who introduced Bush as his "personal friend." I'm sure Guinn could get Sandoval into the meetings if he contacted his "friend."

Could it be that Sandoval and Guinn are playing a game with the people of Nevada? Who do these two Nevada Republicans really work for, Bush's Republican Party or the people of Nevada?
