  • LETTER: Always welcome when he’s home

    I was recently home on leave from Iraq and I must say it is always wonderful to come home to Las Vegas. I always feel so welcome everywhere I go while I am home.

    I would like to take the time to thank the people that have helped me out by sending me stuff and done other things to support me: Aggie Santillanes from Memorial Middle School, Steve Lucero from Highlands Wrecker Services, the wonderful ladies from Las Vegas Conoco on Seventh Street.

    UP thumb ... JUSTICE SERVED. Manny Aragon got what he deserved: He’ll be in federal prison for the next five and a half years. The longtime state Senate leader bilked taxpayers out of millions of dollars in a kickback scheme, and he had pleaded guilty to it.

  • LETTER: Slavery, chocolate shouldn’t mix

    Our class is doing a project on Fair Trade, and slavery in chocolate. We wanted to know if you knew about Fair Trade and their work on no slavery in chocolate. In our class we are very concerned about the children who have to work and not go to school just so they can have money for their families.

  • LETTER: Optic should offer fact, not fiction

    I agree with part of what Greg Levenson wrote in his letter to the editor published March 6.  It would be wonderful if the Optic were able to provide more positive news and editorials about Las Vegas leaders and businesses.
