Good, Bad, Ugly

Dear Editor, Right now, there are three groups of Property Owners who want to start up a Valle Vista Fire District, which would include Valle Vista, Hackberry, Valentine, and Truxton. They want to break away from Northern AZ. Fire District and the Fire Board and the Fire Chief. The first group is for the Northern AZ.

COVID reporting questioned

Term limits petition

Dear Editor, Last month, the Mohave County Conservatives PAC started an initiative petition to place term limits for most Mohave County elected officials. The petition effort needs 10,739 valid signatures submitted no later than July 8 for the Initiative to be placed on the Nov. 2022 General Election Ballot. This idea is way overdue.

Further, elections aren’t real term limits because incumbents have an overwhelming advantage. Elected officers stay in office so long, they think they ‘own’…

In rebuttal to Lloyd Dickson

Dear Editor, Lloyd Dickson, you are a parrot. You have never done any research about what you speak. If you did you would already know and understand what I am about to explain to you. Your reply comes down to telling me to shut up and take the approved Bio Weapon because the experts say it stops the Covid virus when in fact, in my opinion, it does not. You say this without ever researching the ingredients of what is in it. Graphene oxide is only one of a long list of toxic ingredients. In fact there is a federal…
