Complain if you have problems

Dear Editor, If you live in Valle Vista and you want it to look like a north area of Kingman in Mohave County then please don’t complain. By not complaining to the sheriff, road department, code enforcement, public health, animal control, our own board of directors, and any other applicable department we will take on the same look. If that’s what  you want then don’t complain and just go look at the area. That’s Valle Vista in the future.

Trump may honestly add loser to his already stellar curriculum vitae. It remains amazing, even incomprehensible to me, how people prefer to obtain their news from social media or other questionable sources. The adherents believe the dubious information, without bothering to investigate. Yet they will doubt, even condemn as false, credible sources of proven facts from individuals who have spent years educating themselves studying the issues. Thanks to letters written to and…
