Letters to the Editor

Dear Fellow Voters, Surely by now, you’ve noticed the numerous signs in support of Props 416 and 417 littering our intersections. Once again, we have a local government entity, Pinal County in this case, asking us to support yet another useless tax.

To the lady in the WalMart parking lot: You parked your Red Mercedes in a handicapped spot, I called you on it. You said you have a sticker but failed to produce it and then you drove around the parking lot to find where I was parked and stopped to tell me "You just jealous". Of what?

Yes votes on Propositions 416 and 417 will get us new roads and freeways, and solve our traffic nightmares now and into the future. But these measures also preserve our quality of life. I must politely but strongly disagree with a letter submitted by Mr. Scott Skinner claiming that new roads and freeways will urbanize Pinal County.

Earlier this year the Arizona Department of Transportation said it had a transportation backlog of “800 years.”

I'm writing to thank Pinal County Sheriff's Department. They recovered our stolen ATV/side by side.

Did you know that the largest church in America has no doors, no walls, and no geographical limit? It’s the Church of Infinite Growth, and you are a member of it. You believe that growth is good, that it's inevitable, and that it's your job to facilitate it. You believe the only way to encourage economic activity is to subsidize land developers and big corporations. You hope: “maybe if we build new roads, Amazon will come and build a factory".

There They Go Again…. Another Phoenix Group Tries To Keep Pinal County From Getting the Roads And Freeways It Deserves.

I'm a registered voter in Pinal County and have lived in Arizona for over 32 years and in San Tan Valley (STV) for over two years. I have followed several Pinal County issues, (to include STV Right to Vote, Queen Creek (QC) annexation of STV commercial property, (with Pinal County Government blessing) the issues with Johnson Utilities as well as other), within the county with extreme interest.

Mrs. Van Driel is a resident of Apache Junction. Mr. Shope is the former Mayor of Coolidge and owner of Shope’s IGA. Mr. Farrell is a City of Maricopa resident and was the community’s first Mayor.  When it comes to the huge need for new roads and freeways in Pinal County who do you trust?

I just wanted to share our dear friends story in hopes of inspiring others! Johnie and Tammie Mendoza are former foster parents who have adopted 10 children from the system, the last is a medically fragile 2 year old who also has an NG feeding tube and various medical issues requiring equipment. They know all too well the importance of formula thickener and sterile tubes for tube feeding.

Dear Fellow Pinal County Resident: You know better than anyone how inadequate roads and freeways in Pinal County can be. From north to south, east to west, our infrastructure needs serious help. This is especially true at a time when fatal and serious accidents are rising and state leaders say they have an "800 year" backlog for transportation projects.

I had a very disappointing experience on Wednesday. I usually don't pass stuff like this on, but I was actually amazed at how dispassionate a person from SRP could be.

Governor Doug Ducey signed HB2088 on Feb 21st, 2017, a tremendous victory for all of us! Unfortunately we had to not only wait for the legislative session to end, but we had to wait an additional 90 days before HB2088 became law (along with hundreds of other bills).

My name is Jacob Cohen, and I am 16 years old. Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced his retirement from NASCAR in April of this year.

My name is Joshua Cohen, and I am 14 years old. As part of my requirements for the Communications merit badge, I have to write a letter to the editor of our local newspaper.
