Letters to the Editor

‘Party planning’ is the new basket weaving
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Walter F. Wegst, Las Vegas
When I was in school at the University of Michigan the joke around campus was that the varsity athletes could always take “basket weaving” to improve their grade-point averages.
The more energy solutions the merrier
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Charles Cordova, Las Vegas
Let’s look for oil, gas and coal everywhere we can within our own borders.
Crack down on those not paying taxes
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Richard Rychtarik, Las Vegas
Now that we have a governor who insists upon not raising taxes, it is imperative that we all pay our fair share.
Drilling in wildlife refuge avoids real issue
Friday, May 16, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Bart Atwell, Las Vegas
The Sun’s lead story Wednesday contained a pop quiz about the best way to lower energy prices. The caption under a picture of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge said the Republican plan to drill there would “increase the domestic oil supply ... and reduce dependence on foreign oil.”
Arctic drilling, research both needed
Friday, May 16, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Michelle Churchman, Pahrump
Wednesday’s article “Voters, pick your fix for gas prices” illustrates the typically shortsighted thinking that’s rampant in our government.
Outfit cars so they can't speed

This Democratic race isn’t over
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Donna C. West, Las Vegas
I didn’t send a thank you letter to Brian Greenspun for standing up for Hillary Clinton in his Sunday column because I knew that someone — in this case, Bill DiBenedetto in his Wednesday letter — would say that Mr. Greenspun has it wrong.
Big Oil witch hunt all for political gain
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Bill Cramer, Las Vegas
Why must people in the media always jump on the bandwagon of politicians, like trained chimpanzees, every time they find some “whipping boy” to blame for the country’s ills?
Despoiling refuge for oil is futile
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Doug Nusbaum, Henderson
With respect to people who state that if liberals, Democrats, etc., would have allowed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, we would have much cheaper petroleum:

We’re all responsible for gas dependency
Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Democrats should now back Obama
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Bill DiBenedetto, Henderson
I find it admirable that Brian Greenspun would stand by his friends the Clintons during this election. Sen. Hillary Clinton is an outstanding American, and Mr. Greenspun’s “Where I Stand” column Sunday was a testament to their friendship.
Americans need to shed their gas addiction
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Letter to the editor:
Stacy Standley, Las Vegas
We are obsessed with our “birthright” to cheap gas and the right to drive monster vehicles.
