Vote for truth and integrity

Dear Editor, I agree with Mr. Jack Hommell, “Get out and Vote” in the June 16 edition. Our democracy and America depend upon it!

We know lies when they arise, so remove politicians who indulge the lies from office by voting for a worthy opponent. Remember, even judges appointed by Trump have…

He explained, however, that he cannot support the plan because future boards of supervisors could unravel the current board’s intent and kick the property tax rate back up. “I’ve seen this happen. It happened in Lake Havasu…
