Letters to the Editor

Successful ad campaign has flip side
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Joel Rector, North Las Vegas
Regarding the whining and hand-wringing over President Barack Obama’s latest Las Vegas comment — “you don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college” — I give a lot of the credit to the brilliant marketing campaign designed by our Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Obama’s words no help for industries treading wate
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Anthony J. Berkley, Henderson
When the leader of the greatest free nation on Earth speaks and makes recommendations, people listen and people follow. After all, what kind of leader are you if you cannot inspire people to follow?
State lottery could be just what Nevada needs
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Judy Evans, Las Vegas
As a longtime resident of Las Vegas, I have a suggestion that may help our state’s financial situation in two words: state lottery.
Monorail surely needs a connection to McCarran

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Robert L. Candiotti, Las Vegas
Regarding a Jan. 29 article in the Las Vegas Sun, headlined “Las Vegas Monorail has few profitable options”:
Hyperventilating over a benign remark
Monday, February 8, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
John Esperian, Las Vegas
Reading some of the letters to the editor about President Barack Obama’s comment, that Americans should not blow their cash on Las Vegas while trying to save for college, one would think that he had advocated matricide or worse.
GOP should blame itself for deficit, not Democrats
Monday, February 8, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Steve Metz, Henderson
An Associated Press story last week claimed that the deficit is now about $40,000 for every man, woman and child in America.
State’s tax system isn’t why we are struggling so bad
Monday, February 8, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Knight Allen, Las Vegas
Congratulations to the Las Vegas Sun. For two days running it managed to slip into its main editorials — “Robbing Peter to pay Paul”(Wednesday) and “A canary in a coal mine” (Thursday) — its favorite slogan: Nevada’s tax system is broken.
Chicken-hearted lawmakers in D.C. have laid an egg
Monday, February 8, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Richard Rychtarik, Las Vegas
I’m quite certain that if genetic testing were to be conducted on all members of Congress, we would learn that the vast majority are direct descendants of Nero, the primary difference being that Nero was capable of playing a fiddle.
Yucca decision a cause for celebration
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Carmie Frey, Henderson
I am astonished that Nevadans, especially Las Vegans, are not dancing in the streets at the news of Yucca Mountain’s death at the hands of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and President Barack Obama.
Goodman’s ego is not helping perception of city
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Deanna Bassin, Las Vegas
If Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman didn’t have this terrible need to be in the press and had just shut up, no one would have thought anything about President Barack Obama’s remark that “you don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.”
Mayor correct in his assessment of president
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Stan Pollack, Henderson
What was our president thinking?
Las Vegans shouldn’t whine about comment
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Tony Macklin, Las Vegas
Most Las Vegans proudly sneer at “political correctness,” but when the president mentions Las Vegas as a place where people go to potentially waste money, they whimper and whine.
Our city a better bargain than Washington
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Bruce Feher, Las Vegas
The president has said that folks shouldn’t “blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college …”
Republican policies led us to brink of doom
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Letter to the Editor:
Robert Doria, North Las Vegas
Has this country gone berserk? How is it possible that anyone can fondly look back at the days of the failed leadership of George W. Bush and the Republicans?
Obama showed grit in GOP meeting
Saturday, February 6, 2010
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Vernos Branco, Las Vegas
In response to James Witherspoon’s Jan. 30 letter to the editor, headlined “Time for Obama to stand up to the Republican bullies”:
