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.

Hot kitchen oil assault case hindered by language barrier

KINGMAN – The language barrier that presented difficulty in the criminal investigation is also evident in legal proceedings for an elderly Asian defendant who allegedly brutally assaulted co-workers with hot oil at a Kingman eatery last spring. Parties had difficulty hearing and understanding one another during an Oct. 14 hearing for Kien Yun Wong, the 70-year old who reportedly slit his throat after attacking two male co-workers during the lunch hour at the Sakura Sushi & Grill. A translator appeared over the telephone which was placed behind COVID-19 plexiglass in the historical, though acoustically- challenged third story courtroom under an…
