Letter: Neal did nothing wrong by taking casino money

Clyde, there is nothing wrong with a politician who accepts $10,000 from the casinos, then keeps his honor and his integrity by working for those who elected him to office. Perhaps in the senator's mind, the $1 some senior citizen gave to his campaign was a much larger contribution!
You can opine all you want to, but Neal will always be Robin Hood to his constituents and to many people in Nevada.
Do you like "yes" men; I don't. As you stated, "we live in a pragmatic world." Isn't Sen. Neal being pragmatic when he advocates that we must make the most money we can from the inevitable storage of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain?
I opine that had Jan Jones not been brought in to nullify his campaign, the people would have elected Joe Neal governor!
If you're looking for Don Quixote, he and I are one. Attack you nasty old dragon!
