Supes vote to maintain COVID emergency declaration

MOHAVE COUNTY – Supervisor Hildy Angius’ push to end Mohave County’s COVID-19 emergency declaration failed in a predictable 3-2 vote during Thursday’s special board meeting in Kingman. Supervisor Ron Gould sided with Angius, while the rest of the board voted to keep in place Chairman Jean Bishop’s March 18 proclamation. Angius and Gould contend dwindling numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths have ended any local emergency that may have existed. And they want government to retreat from edicts and return liberty to the people to make their own health care determinations. “People can make up their own minds themselves how…

Supervisor Ron Gould said he is familiar with the premise of the show. “This is where they pretend to be illegally street drag racing,” Gould said, drawing chuckles from the audience. The drag racing…
