Budget reform shot down

MOHAVE COUNTY -A proposal to reduce the primary property tax rate and replace the revenue with a quarter cent sales tax died at Monday’s Mohave County board of supervisors meeting in Kingman. It was District 5 Supervisor Ron Gould who fired the missile that torpedoed the tax reform. Gould told board members he despises property taxes and supports the notion of reducing them through a sales tax hike.

New Filiberto’s on pause

KINGMAN – Kingman area residents historically have enthusiastically bull rushed a new business, particularly eateries, but they’ll have to wait until July to dine in the new Filiberto’s store next to Dutch Bros on Stockton Hill Road. City officials said a Certificate of Occupancy for the 2,400 sq. ft. building issued on May 20. The completed store, however, sits vacant without signage and its windows are free of any information about a timetable for opening or employment opportunity. The Filiberto’s ghost town stands in stark contrast to Dutch Bros next door, which bustled with hiring and training activity in advance…
