Neighborhood roads – Neighborhood roads are all torn up, Why are 18-wheelers allowed to drive on these roads? These are much too heavy for these roads. Other places unloaded to smaller trucks for deliveries. City politicians, please look into this.

Mitch McConell is failing all conservative Republicans – Perhaps if Republicans ran somebody besides Trump or DeSantis, we could all get back on the Republican bandwagon.

FTC column: Did you hear about the student loan announcements? Scammers did­ – Well done and timely piece.

Until a store like Costco or Sam’s Club comes to Kingman gas prices will be high ­– Economic Development Manager says our town is too ignorant and poor for those stores to be interested in coming here. Why is she employed here?

Did you hear about the student loan announcements? Scammers did – Another way to avoid the scam is to pay your own debts instead of expecting someone else to pay them. You borrowed it. You should pay it back. It is called integrity and honesty, two qualities sadly missing in America today!

When will something be done about these kids riding their dirt bikes and mini quads around the neighborhoods. Don’t we have enough dust and noise. Please, will more people speak up about this problem.

To the Kingmanite complaining about student debt relief – The less-educated are complaining about the college-educated getting student debt relief. The less educated will cost the taxpayers more in the long run since they qualify more for Medicaid and food stamps, and have more children.

Tom Ciardullo letter: Step back, take a deep breath, and calm down – Bravo, Tom Ciardullo. I agree wholeheartedly!

Ducey wants high court to toss 3 initiatives – Is Governor Ducey afraid the will of the people may prevail, and the profit margins of predatory businesses lessen?

McConnell failing – The GOP is failing itself, but it’s not any one person. It’s out-of-touch policies, and unqualified members who are not really conservative about anything except complaining about everything. And once again, inflation is worldwide, not caused by the Democrats.
