Prop 207 is smoke and mirrors – bad for AZ kids

Dear Editor, Like a magic trick, Arizona’s Proposition 207 is not what it seems. Prop 207 is called “The Smart and Safe Arizona Act” but neither adjective reflects the reality it proposes. Take it from us, Coloradans who saw the same smoke-and-mirrors trick eight years ago. After the magic show ended in 2012 and Colorado voters agreed to regulate marijuana similar to alcohol, we were left with: increasing marijuana-impaired traffic fatalities, rising frequency of marijuana use by youth, exponentially higher potency with radically new marijuana products, almost double the national rate for daily marijuana use among young adults.

Enjoy your usual life, but vote

Occasionally we all feel like we are living in a rut. Our days and weeks are filled with the same activities and schedules.

We go to the same place of worship, and read the same daily or weekly newspaper. Our lives are made up of routines, schedules and the usual. Occasionally we get bored with the usual…

Mohave County AZ selectively enforces mandatory mask ordinance

Dear Editor, On October 8, at 12:00 p.m., at the Mohave County Building located at 700 W. Beale St. in Kingman, I went to the Board of Supervisor meeting with a group of Mohave County residents. A few days prior to this meeting, I had made this meeting public on social media so that others would know about it and attend. When we got there, security guards and Sheriff deputies were already there. We were denied access to this public meeting, and according to them, we were blocked from entering under the orders of the county supervisors. We were adamantly…
