Letter: Don’t support pro-Yucca Bush

Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 | 8:51 a.m.

I think Brian Greenspun's Sunday column said a lot of things that should be said more often. Nevada is targeted to be a nuclear waste dump if our current president has anything to say about it, yet local dignitaries and business owners are lining up to donate thousands of dollars to him and listen to his meaningless platidudes.

Where are our Republican congressmen and state office holders? Why is it more important to look good in Washington than to make a statement of principle for Nevada?

I admire the fact that the Sun's columnists challenge local politics and politicians and the political situation. Like somebody once said, "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." Keep asking the questions, keep rocking the boat and keep printing the paper.
