The forum is yours. Whatever you want to talk about, within FCC guidelines, we want to hear it. So what keeps you up at night?

The summer heat and climate change? The lousy dating pool in Vegas? The Vegas Golden Knights, the prospect of the Oakland A's coming to Vegas, or the taxpayer payout to build their stadium?

Or maybe it’s the never-ever-ending construction hell known as our streets? Or the awful drivers? Our ongoing lack of medical and mental health professions?

The Nevada Legislature passed a measure to give $100 million to fix homelessness in Nevada, but is it a fix? A Band-Aid? Flying these days is not only expensive, you can’t get a flight that isn’t delayed anymore. What about you? Do you fly anywhere?

Then again: Vegas heat was brutal for a few weeks, but it’s pretty good now. Still, our water situation with the other Western states is far from resolved. And we hear-tell that if you have a tree that isn’t born for the desert, just expect it to die in coming years unless you want a massive water bill.
