Letter: Providing scrutiny of government

Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2007 | 7:04 a.m.

I respect the editorial policy of the Las Vegas Sun. Without trepidation, the Sun takes on and challenges the political establishment.

Without the constant scrutiny of the powers that be, the Sun's readers would probably be unaware of the scope of the graft, corruption and incompetence that exists to the detriment of the average working taxpayer.

The paucity of time and space prohibits enumerating the interesting cases that the Sun is presently following. I definitely appreciate the newspaper's work on the University Medical Center scandal, the Iraq war and others.

Anyway, as a former naval officer, I salute your efforts to keep government transparent. Keep up the good work.
