Dear Editor,Acts 17: 22-27 says, “Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, ‘Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription: To The Unknown God.

Open Letter to Mohave County Supervisor Travis Lingenfelter

The Standard does not normally respond to comments made on social media platforms; however, in your Facebook post dated Oct. 29, 2021 you referred to a news article that The Standard Newspaper published as a ‘Hit Piece’. In your post you write: “A ‘hit piece’ is an attempt to turn public opinion against someone or something under the guise of objective reporting, and it is the lowest form of journalism. And there is always an agenda behind it – Travis Lingenfelter”. You also added: “They tried it when we placed the Kingman Airport on a track of renewed success, and…
