I very much appreciated the editorials in the Las Vegas Sun on Dec. 9.
One particular editorial grabbed my eye that was headlined, "Gratitude is not enough - Probe shows government may have tried to shortchange nuclear weapons workers."
My husband was one of those diligent workers during the Cold War who later developed bladder cancer, which required 35 radiation treatments. He has been very much weakened by these treatments and no longer has the strength he used to have.
When I think that the Bush administration did not hesitate to give the rich a tax cut, yet dragged its feet to compensate these workers, it makes me angry.
