Why Prop 207 is Losing Support

Dear Editor, The marijuana sellers who wrote Prop 207 had the marketing all figured out. This time, they would give the ballot proposition a respectable sounding name, tweak a couple of details without really limiting their potential market, and spread the word that this recreational marijuana proposition was “Smart and Safe.” Polling indicated their ploy was working. Polls consistently showed Arizona voters would likely support such a measure. Then, the details began to emerge. Voters learned Prop 207 does far more than decriminalize recreational marijuana. The 17-pages of changes to Arizona laws would affect drivers, teens, kids, employees and employers,…

Reader does not believe creditable news sources

Dear Editor, I used to enjoy the news. Taking into account the week’s happenings, I’m really ashamed of all the negative press and commercials for both candidates. Where have all the good reporters gone? When did they decide to become liars and story tellers instead of telling the truth and inform the people of facts so we could make up our own minds about these candidates? I can remember when being a reporter was an admirable thing. We looked to them to give us what we needed to make informed decisions. Now, I don’t believe anything they write or say…

KINGMAN – A handful of citizens turned out for what was billed as a hybrid town-hall/workshop Thursday for Mohave County supervisors to gather public input on use of masks and the requirement to wear face cover in Mohave County buildings during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. About a half-dozen people addressed the board of supervisors in person and more than three dozen others submitted written statements. Board clerk Ginny Anderson and deputy county attorney Ryan Espling took turns reading those letters into the record during a 40-minute period. Anderson said 22 people were opposed while 30 people expressed support for use…
