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.

He tweeted “… immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill.” Then, presumably upon realizing the potential damage that plan might possibly inflict on his re-election prospects, (especially since he had just tweeted “Work together to get it done”), while hospitalized, he changed his tune. Now Trump would like to give $25 billion to bail out airlines as well as supporting troubled businesses. Never mind there are perhaps millions of…

What do you want your tax dollars funding?

Dear Editor, I want to thank first of all The Standard newspaper for the privilege of allowing me to share week after week with the people of faith and others in Mohave County. Thank you all very much. Today I’ll be brief, as I call every Christian or all red blooded Americans, of faith or not, to heed what is happening here in America and globally. I want to draw your attention to a few terms, hoping that you’ll educate yourself on what is transpiring. Most people are unaware as I was, until a couple of years ago. These terms…

Prison ordered for man who brutally attacked his partner

KINGMAN – Her chilling, blood-curdling screams pierced a Mohave County courtroom as a Kingman woman’s attacker was sent to the Arizona Department of Corrections Thursday. Their home security surveillance system captured 43-year-old Brian Crossland’s brutal assault of his long-time partner in their Kingman home on Golf Drive on May 13. Crossland can be seen striking the woman, holding a knife to her throat and yelling at her during the near nine-minute video segment played during the sentencing hearing before Superior Court Judge Rick Lambert. “I think the video speaks for itself,” said Deputy Mohave County Attorney Reed Weisberg. The victim…
