Response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of Dec. 15

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Hey Lloyd, once again you addressed my comments with typical liberal rhetoric instead of addressing my issues. And, just like your friends in the liberal media, you interpret my responses and then regurgitate them to support your myopic view of conservatives. I never said or indicated in any way that “well-offs” shouldn’t pay their fair share. I said (in essence) that anyone who thought that only the “well-off’s” are going to get stuck with the bill needs to renew their subscription to “Fairies Live Among Us” magazine. Regarding the Patriot Act, if there’s a provision contained within it…

Dear Editor, This Christmas give somebody the gift of mercy and forgiveness. Be broad with your giving and be generous. We all need a lot of both. For such a joyful holiday of cheer, giving, and yuletide merriment, there is much to be stressed about.

We are not in a water crisis, and may never be

Ron Martin4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, Two recent trends have become evident around Kingman; one is the increase in population and the other is farming in the Hualapai Valley. Both should be cause for celebration, because others are discovering the livability and quality of life that has long been evident to locals.But the growth has created a sense of urgency among elected and appointed officials. Kingman draws its water from two deep underground basins, the Hualapai Basin, and the Sacramento Basin. Growth impacting our most valuable resource may be leading to a premature pressure to do something about our perceived water scarcity.Representative Regina Cobb…
