In a May 24 letter to the Verde Independent, Vicki Jo Anderson of Cottonwood wrote that the Mingus Union School Board “reflected the majority of the communities’ (sic) opinion” when it voted to ban seven English textbooks.

One of my strategic goals is to ensure that the Verde Valley and all Yavapai County remain vibrant, prosperous, and healthy for generations to come.
