Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, Here again Congress can fix the loopholes in our tax system. Why would they when they benefit from it? Don’t you think Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and Joe Biden take advantage of it as well? At least a flat tax would be more fair to all. President Trump’s tax cuts put more money in our pockets as individuals. The corporate tax cut was to help our businesses be competitive as our corporate tax rate was higher than other countries we trade with. This encourages our companies to operate here instead of exporting jobs overseas. With tax…

Dear Editor, Mr. Goyeneche, again I have to agree, congress should amend tax laws politicians should not enter the institution paupers and exit millionaires. However, I am not suggesting millionaires be ‘punished for being successful.” I simply believe they should be made to pay their fair share of taxes. I believe it was Warren Buffet who commented he pays less taxes than his secretary. To me that is not equitable. Trump’s tax cuts allowed corporations to buy back shares of their own stocks. Lowe’s bought back ten billion dollars’ worth of their shares, then fired thousands of workers. As for…

Dear Editor, Some people want you to know when they have a cold, bad hair day, gout or hemorrhoid flare up. Many of us have seen pictures of wounds, sores, legs in casts, people on ventilators and much more. Many of us have seen a lot of dead bodies on social media. Numerous funerals of people you may have known have appeared on social media. Maybe this works out for people who can’t attend the funeral. I’m not being critical. If this works for the family, then it’s no one else’s business. If the deceased person was a private kind…

Dear Editor, Cornerstone Mission, one of the largest non-profit organizations in Mohave County, needs our help!  The mission was invited to apply for a grant by the Arizona Department of Housing and Arizona Housing Coalition (AHC). They applied and were awarded $349,000, in which they used as proof to take out a bridge loan to meet the grant requirements. They were given a timeframe in which the funds needed to be disbursed and stipulations on how and when they needed to be spent. If not spent in accordance with the requirements the funds would be lost. After three months of Cornerstone Mission using those funds…

Dear Editor, The first step in resolving any issue in life is to identify and define the problem and its origin, honestly. Kingman is my chosen hometown and just like you I care a great deal about my community, the people, and the quality of their lives. The Kingman City Council and the city government have shown time and time again they really do care about the city and they are currently doing a decent job trying to keep the Kingman residents informed, yet the city faces dozens of critical ongoing problems: • Uncontrolled Growth • Aging and inadequate infrastructure…

Dear Editor, I’ve never bought a copy of The National Enquirer. However, I’ve read from it some down through the years. If I’ve been standing in a grocery store checkout line for a few minutes then the tabloid has been a source of comic fodder. It’s always been a good comic book.  I’ve never read anything in the publication that I took as gospel truth. Typically, the headlines have been something sensational like, “Green Creatures from Mars Visit the White House,” or, “76-year-old woman has triplets. Democrats blame it on George H.W. Bush.”  The former publisher David Pecker, recently admitted…
