Dear Editor, The Green New Deal, climate and economic justice legislation popularized by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, should include funding for cultured-meat research. This new form of protein is grown from cells, without slaughtering animals. It has the potential to end our reliance on one of the most significant contributors to global warming. I’m talking about traditional animal agriculture. Cultured meat isn’t science fiction. Many companies are developing such products for market. For instance, Mission Barns will hold a public taste-testing for its cultivated bacon this month. However, cost is still an issue. Further development is needed to make this technology economically…

Travis ran a commendable campaign, has achieved a great thing for himself, and I hope to witness him working with the four other Supervisors do significant and noteworthy things for Mohave County’s residents, current and new businesses, and visitors of today and for those of tomorrow. Obviously, I wish that the outcome was different but the 32% of Mohave County’s…

Dear Editor, Mitch McConnell finally released his proposal this week. I’m sure you’re not surprised, but the proposal is bad. Simply put, it does not match the scale of the crisis. What McConnell is proposing for families and public education is woefully inadequate given the expenses schools are facing to reopen safely and people are facing just to stay afloat. It falls dramatically short by ignoring what schools need to reopen safely and, instead, prioritizes the President’s political agenda, tying the funding to in-person instruction and diverting money for private school vouchers. There is no money for states and no…

Dear Editor, First of all I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for who I think will do the most good for America. Donald Trump brought jobs back, the stock market was the best its ever been. He stood up to other nations who would destroy us, got out of the deal with Iran which was a bad mistake of Obama and Biden.
