Rt 66 Motel renovation project underway

KINGMAN – Catholic Charities of Arizona has told inquiring city officials that the Route 66 Motel it purchased in Kingman is not for sale. And the organization has indicated it will continue its campaign to renovate the dilapidated property for a transitional housing project operation.

KINGMAN – What promised to be a routine meeting of the Hospital District #1 of Mohave County on Tuesday, January 9, was far from routine. This little-known District Board has operated for decades in near obscurity with virtually no interest from the public and little being reported about it.

The motion to approve…

Angius wants ‘Call to the Public’ reform

MOHAVE COUNTY – Call to the Public portions of Mohave County Board of Supervisors meetings sometimes morph into extended town halls, or episodes of Jerry Springer shows in the estimation of many. New Chairman Hildy Angius is proposing a reform she believes will keep citizen free speech rights intact, but allow the government to conduct its business in more orderly fashion. She is asking colleagues for support in moving the Call to Public to the end of their board meetings. Angius noted there was no Call to the Public more than a decade ago and that she and Steve Moss…
