Pupfish dependent on government

To the editor:

After reading Wednesday’s Review-Journal editorial about the endangered Devil’s Hole pupfish (“Killing Nevada’s million-dollar fish”), I again scratched my head and wondered if government will ever learn. The article says the number of fish has gone down from 544 in 1990 to just 35 this spring — despite the government getting involved in “saving” them.

The solution is simple: Assign each remaining fish a Social Security number, issue each fish monthly welfare checks and food stamps, and in no time at all, their population will be in the millions and they will be voting Democrat.

On second thought, never mind. VA at the La Canada clinic, the Rancho Lane Clinic and the clinic at Boulder Highway. I received good care at these medical centers.

I have been to the new hospital in North Las Vegas several times. From my own observations, I believe the hospital opened too soon. It should have opened when all construction was complete and all departments were fully staffed. I think this is where Ms. Niccum and others have had problems. The ReviewJournal nailed it with its Thursday editorial (“Reform the VA”) about what the VA has to do in the future to make its image in Nevada better. party, to the total exclusion of the minority party, refuses to subject some of his staff to its laws. What irony, what hypocrisy.

It’s a very sad commentary on the state of leadership and fairness in our country. I weep.
