Angius: It’s time to end the emergency

MOHAVE COUNTY – It’s time to signal the end of any emergency that Mohave County may have had with respect to COVID-19, according to Dist. 2 Mohave county Supervisor Hildy Angius. The Bullhead City rep. is asking fellow supervisors to rescind Chairman Jean Bishop’s March 18 proclamation at next Monday’s Board meeting. “I believe the emergency is over,” Angius said Tuesday. Angius said new coronavirus case counts and deaths have slowed to a trickle and that county government should return liberty to the people. Angius said that it is time for the county board to ratify or overturn Bishop’s more…

Presidential Debate or Wrestling Match? We must have better than this

Dear Editor, September 29, 2020, was just another bad day in 2020. We thought that with Covid-19, unemployment, and riots in the streets of America’s cities it could not get worse. It did. Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Chris Wallace gave us a “show?” we will never forget. Our leaders used to make us proud. We grew up wanting to emulate people in high places who inspired us with their remarkable lives. We watched how they conducted themselves, communicated and chose their words wisely with dignity, diplomacy and grace. This doesn’t happen anymore in America. Tuesday’s debate was just another…

Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to endorse a true progressive candidate for Mohave County District 4 Supervisor, Jack Ehrhardt.

Jack Ehrhardt, a conservative conservationist, has been and is an active local leader in preserving northwestern Arizona water resources for residents, municipalities and businesses. He is a contractor dedicated to building environmentally sound structures on native lands…

Get your information from reliable sources

Dear Editor, The only conclusion one may possibly reach from reading some opinion letters in The Standard, is there must be something in the Kool-Aid the writer is drinking. How else can you explain (in this information age) the COVID-19 hoax, especially when the writer uses CDC information to attempt proving her ill-conceived opinion. She writes, “The DCD has just updated its statistics that 94% of the supposed COVID-19 deaths were not actually COVID-19 deaths. They were advanced in age and had 2-3 comorbidities, which in plain English means they died from natural causes or from something else.” She then…
