LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Here’s one way to raise revenue for our schools

How about some common sense from Carson City and Gov. Brian Sandoval? Since when does cutting the education of young people add quality to life?

How does an uneducated population attract business or families to move to Nevada?

The big problem is money. Here is a simple method of collecting funds every day and the cost of setting up the program is a push of a button on a computer.

Projecting that in Nevada there are about 193,000 motel and hotel rooms, and assuming a daily occupancy rate average of 80 percent, add a fee of $1 per day per room.

You do the math. I get more than $154,000 per day all year and sometimes more.

One of our esteemed leaders can even propose this and take it as his idea. Perhaps this is too simple, but it is just a thought.
