What about the size of your Snicker’s bar?

Dear Editor, In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden referred to an American dilemma – the shrinking Snicker’s bar. He pointed out that his Snicker’s bar purchase had less or fewer Snickers. I’m not exactly sure what a Snickers is, nuts, chocolate, sugar, the content of the bar. Size matters, when you’re hungry. It’s just a bad thing when you stop at your local convenient store to buy a soda pop and you walk out with a Snicker’s bar that cost more but has less in the wrapper. Apparently, there must be less Fritos and Cheetos in…

H2O or NO?

Dear Editor, Water, water everywhere, or any a drop to drink? Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem, ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ , written in 1834, seems in many ways, to sum up an impending disaster for Kingman and Mohave County: “Water, water everywhere, nor any a drop to drink.” As a resident and homeowner in the city of Kingman, I have heard far too many worrisome reports about our aquifers being at reclining low levels and then reports that refute that claim which offsets the unsettling alarm. Will Kingman ever run dry? Will the cost of water become unaffordable? Will…

What do you expect from our next President?  

Dear Editor, I’m voting for the Presidential candidate who will promise to keep Social Security solvent. I’ve hit the age where I’m finally on the receiving end of some of this government money and I want to keep it going. Never fear, I’m still paying plenty of taxes. I’m still holding down a job so Uncle Sam takes a big slice of every pay check.  Seventy million Americans feel the same way I do when It comes to Social Security. For over 30 million Americans, Social Security is all they have and many do not even collect $2,000 a month….
