Dealing with the challenges of Christmas

Dr. Glenn Mollette 
Christmas is a joyful season but always has some challenges.
The place of Christmas is often a question. Mary and Joseph ended up in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. They had gone there to pay taxes. Paying taxes is never fun but something we have to do.

Government is the Problem

Dear Editor,

For almost 18 months, I have been exposing the many community issues in Mohave County, focusing specifically on Kingman, AZ.  The major theme has been that elected community leaders have categorically and defiantly REFUSED to listen to the people’s voice and have done so with reckless disregard and brazen deception.  The specific issues have been Uncontrolled Growth and Inadequate Infrastructure.
