The Mirage

Pam Wanner2 years ago2 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor,

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place, that is the mirage that the people of Kingman have been facing for decades when addressing the City Council. This illusive phenomenon is both rhetorical and optical in perception but at the end of the day, the month or the years, the only ones being deceived are the good people of our town.

It was but merely a few days ago that I authored a very revealing publication calling out the city for its failure to communicate

Housing shortage, lack of services needs to be addressed

Dear Editor,

On October 8, the City of Kingman will hold a town hall to discuss “Crime and Homelessness.” This topic was originally presented in a public online survey as “Crime/Homelessness.” These two social issues are distinct challenges. Approaching homelessness through a lens of criminality creates criminality where there is none.

Those without shelter deserve a stable place to live

A Better Choice for CD9

Dear Editor,

Arizona Congressional District 9 is one of the largest in the nation. It stretches from the West Valley to the California state line. From I-8 to the Utah state line. Despite its size, CD 9’s population is widespread and concentrated in a few densely populated areas including Goodyear, Surprise, Buckeye, Litchfield Park, Wickenburg, Yuma, Lake Havasu, Bullhead City and Kingman. It is vital that we are represented in Congress by a candidate who is competent and knowledgeable about the needs of the west side of our state.

Dear Editor,

Hello Ms. J.M. I couldn’t help but respond to your rage against former President Trump. No one knows how a person would react to being shot at until it happens. Scary as it was our former President was able to compose himself and let the people know to continue the fight for their beliefs and country which are being censored and ignored each and every day.

Strange how after January 20, 2021 the persecution of our former President intensified beyond the false rhetoric of 2016. Be Nice?

Arizonans want limits on abortion, Prop 139 goes too far

Pam Wanner2 years ago2 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor,

Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and beyond for medical emergencies. So, Arizonans voting on Prop 139 are not choosing between abortion or no abortion; they are choosing between abortion with limits and safety precautions – or unlimited, unregulated abortion, without doctor or parental oversight.

If the abortion amendment fails to pass, abortion will continue to be legal up to nearly four months of pregnancy, and basic safety regulations will remain in place. If it passes, prepare to see commonsense regulations fall as abortion takes priority over women’s health and safety.
