Dear Editor, Last month, the Mohave County Conservatives PAC started an initiative petition to place term limits for most Mohave County elected officials. The petition effort needs 10,739 valid signatures submitted no later than July 8 for the Initiative to be placed on the Nov. 2022 General Election Ballot. This idea is way overdue. When officials are in office five, six, or even seven terms, we don’t have new ideas, or a fresh perspective on County issues. Further, elections aren’t real term limits because incumbents have an overwhelming advantage. Elected officers stay in office so long, they think they ‘own’…

Dear Editor, Lloyd Dickson, you are a parrot. You have never done any research about what you speak. If you did you would already know and understand what I am about to explain to you. Your reply comes down to telling me to shut up and take the approved Bio Weapon because the experts say it stops the Covid virus when in fact, in my opinion, it does not. You say this without ever researching the ingredients of what is in it. Graphene oxide is only one of a long list of toxic ingredients. In fact there is a federal…

Dear Editor, Imagine a family of 6 people coming to your house. They knock on the door. They look tired, frail, dirty, and very hungry. They are desperate. 2 of the 6 people are under 6 years old. Their clothes are rags and their shoes are barely still on their feet. They tell you about their plight. They have traveled a long way. They left their country in search of a better life. They need you to help them. They need you to give them shelter, food, clothes and some cash. They need to stay with you for a while….

Dear Editor, Again, some right-wing extremists want to cast liberals as hating the “national Constitution”, “the founders”, and “capitalism”, and “wish for or promote socialism, communism, and/or Marxism.” This is according to Mr. Heck’s letter appearing in The Standard’s Sept. 15 edition titled “Sizing up the magnitude of the American problem.” I hope people notice how he cleverly skirts the fact that Fox News has some 9,000 employees, or that some of their on-air personalities have been censured. Tucker Carlson for being untruthful, Laura Ingraham for insulting a Parkland shooting survivor, or Jeanine Pierro for some of her rhetoric. How…

Dear Editor, Chris Snow—standing in the dark beside his stalled truck a quarter mile from an attempted burglary committed by 2 strangers he had driven in kindness—was arrested, jailed, and convicted by a jury, and is soon to be sentenced in Mohave County Superior Court. Released after last Dec. until now Sept., this homeless Kingman visitor has had to live off local kindness, trapped by due process and awaiting trial. Chris Snow was passed between 3 Public Defenders after he refused to plead guilty. The third attempted to trial by jury without success. At the same time, a murder trial…
