The woman at the gas station
Dear Editor,
While filling up her car at the gas station feeling ‘sticker shock’ like the rest of us a reporter asked her what she thought about Trump. She replied, “He’s worthless and I voted for him three times! Apparently I’m an idiot.”
Urgent need to Expand Medicaid home and community-based services in Arizona for the disabled poor
Dear Editor,
Medicaid is a joint federal-state health coverage program that provides essential medical services to low-income individuals, including children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. It is not a welfare cash program or universal healthcare; eligibility and benefits vary significantly by state, with federal matching funds supporting state-administered plans.
Organizers of No Kings wish to thank those who attended and supported
Dear Editor,
I want to thank everyone in my community who made it a wonderful No Kings 3 last weekend. Throughout Mohave County; Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City… 949 of our neighbors came together to say NO THRONES, NO CROWNS, NO KINGS. I consider all of you my new friends.
There is no king in America—only a President elected to serve the people
Dear Editor,
When I see another “No Kings” rally pop up, it tells me one thing: President Trump must be doing something right. There is no king in America—only a President elected to serve the people, protect our security, and defend our way of life.
Easter, Savannah Guthrie, Tiger Woods and You
Dear Editor,
Millions of people around the world will celebrate Easter on Sunday.
When I was a child, I enjoyed watching my mother color eggs. She would boil them, let them cool and the color them. Numerous family members would gather at my grandparents and we would hide and hunt Easter eggs.
Why losing a pet hurts so deeply
Dear Editor,
In a town like ours, where people look out for one another, we do not talk enough about why losing a pet is so devastating. Some say, “she was just a dog,” but anyone who has cared for an aging or terminally ill companion knows there is nothing “just” about it.
What’s up with What-kins?
Dear Editor,
Before Mayor Ken Ellery Watkins took office, the city had some reasonable semblance in the concept of balanced growth and sustainability with manageable stress on the frail infrastructure. That has radically changed, and I blame Mayor Ken What-kins.
Taxation without representation
Dear Editor,
I moved to Kingman from Idaho in November. I enjoy smaller towns. I was surprised to see my first electric bill as it had nine different taxes and surcharges on it which caused it to go from $90 to $310.
Use your voice!
Dear Editor,
Hey friends, and neighbors! On March 28 I will be going to a peaceful “No Kings” Protest, and I welcome you all to join. The purpose is simple: to reaffirm the American principle that no one is above the Constitution, and that public office is a duty, not a crown.
