Dear Editor, By all accounts, Arizona has had a rough time through the COVID-19 pandemic. A staggering loss of more than 15,000 Arizonans, punctuated by devastating economic and mental health impacts, left our state reeling. Vaccinations mean that hope is here, and Arizona’s recovery has been jumpstarted with one of the highest-volume, 24/7 vaccination sites in the country at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. With more than 8,000 vaccines administered every day…about one every 10 seconds…Arizonans have come together in a colossal act of love. This is exactly why, when state leaders called on Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona…

Dear Editor, Seems there is a plan afloat by our wonderful Republican legislature to rewrite the election rules for Arizona. Other states are jumping on the bandwagon as well. Why? Because they don’t like the outcome of the past election and they are going to “fix” the system.

It would be prudent for property owners to advise their renters to comply with these regulations. And remember – No businesses allowed! Property owners should be reporting to the VVPOA office and registering their property as a rental. Information to be provided would include…

Dear Editor, Hang on to your brain stem! In a recent email to each member of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, I asked each supervisor to “take a serious look at my proposal on how the Mohave County Board of Supervisors can help put Arizona at the top of the list of the best states to live, work, start a business, and/or relocate a business.” My proposal is simple, adopt my proposed “21st Century Overall of City, County, State, and Local Tax Systems.” Local, city, and county property taxes, and sales taxes? Terminated! State income, capital gains, inheritance, and…
