Letters to the editor

Shakespeare festival should become annual event

A big thank you to S. Lynn Schofield-Dahl, director of the Boulder City Library, and all those involved in the Boulder City Shakespeare Festival at our library this past weekend.

So much went into this marvelous production. Bravo to all participants, and we hope it will become an annual Boulder City event. We’ll certainly look forward to it!

Republican victories not given enough recognition

Isn’t it ironic that although the Republicans won the majority in both houses of the state Legislature plus all six constitutional offices in last week’s election, a feat that has not occurred since 1929, that there was no mention of this fact in last week’s Boulder City Review on pages 1-5? But on page 6, the banner headline read “Democrats retain control of county posts.” The Republican victories were buried deep into the story.

Do you suppose there might be some bias?

Also, on the editorial pages, there are four or five columnists weekly and only one of the regulars could be described as conservative. There are several excellent columnists in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, who might be available for a column in the Boulder City Review. I would certainly appreciate a better balance in this newspaper.
