Letter: Verde Valley over-reacted to snow storm; a bunch of softies
I wish I had something important to report but I have to say that someone who was raised in central California cannot believe that the Verde Valley was shut down by snow.
Letter: Young people getting wrong message about drugs
Too many fall victim to substances, legal and illegal. Commonly prescribed drugs are debilitating families and leading people to the street. Kids are over-prescribed and set up for a lifetime of drug consumption.
Letter: Let the anti-wall folks provide refuge for immigrants
Much debate rages over illegal immigration, border security, and “Trump’s Wall.” The issue has become highly politicized and, yes, on both sides.
Letter: Spying goes beyond your cellphone
Rep. Kelly Townsend is to be applauded for sounding the alarm over cellphone spying. However, such snooping is only the tip of the proverbial spyberg.

I wish to thank all of the volunteers who helped on the Highway 260 cleanup in the VVPOA section of the highway.

Though 91 percent of Republicans, 92 percent of Independents and 98 percent of Democrats favor the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), the Arizona legislature is once again holding it up.
Letter: Good Samaritans abound in Verde Valley
I would like to extend a personal, heartfelt thank you to Terry Ligon, Cliff Baird, and, Steve Byrne.

We have been fortunate and blessed to live in such a caring and supportive community.
Letter: Byron York commentary a refreshing approach of informing vs. attacking
Thank you for giving us readers the commentaries by Byron York. His recent commentary on ‘co-equal’ was interesting, informative, and factual.
Letter: Still waiting for a Congress with hard-working, honest people that put country first
I remember someone saying “If you like your health plan, you can keep it.” I actually believed him until I lost it.
Letter: Verde Connect just a faster way of getting from VOC to 260
It is a very out-of-the-way bypass, if you can call it that. Anyone who is going to stop at Hamburger Junction is going to stop there, whether Verde Connect is built or not, as it is the only gas station/food area and everyone will have to go by there anyway, Verde Connect or not.
Letter: What is Camp Verde Arena Association and what is their plan?
Camp Verde Arena Association, a corporation that has filed for 501 c 3 non-profit status is made up of 10 members that have a full resume of past and present members of many different associations such as, Grand Canyon Professional Rodeo Association, Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, Verde Valley Fair Association, Verde Valley Ranger Sheriff’s Posse, Special Olympics, National Team Roping Association, FFA/PALS, National High School Rodeo Association, and Camp Verde Calvary to name a few.
Letter: We did it; Benevet raised the needed funds
The 10th annual BeneVet was a great success. I don’t know if it was because the community agreed with me about the veterans not needing to battle for their health.
Letter: Together we can build a vibrant, healthy community
Tuesday, January 15th, the Cottonwood City Council ended the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process with a 5-2 vote in support of the Parks and Recreation Riverfront Park Master Plan.
Letter: Indeed, a man is only as good as his word
We want to say “thank you” Bob Burke for his letter to the editor on January 25, 2019, titled “OK Trump supporters, who you gonna believe?”
Letter: Why not solve problem of lamp posts getting knocked over?
At this writing, there are two lamp posts laying on the ground and are the same ones that were knocked over less than a year ago.
Letter: OK Trump supporters, who you gonna believe?
2016: Trump claims in campaign speeches he is going to build a wall. A big beautiful wall. And Mexico will pay for it. Rally after rally Trump asks his audience “what are we gonna build?” “A wall!” they shout. “Who’s gonna pay for it?” “Mexico!” they parrot back.
Letter: Questionable decisions by Camp Verde Town Council
Camp Verde Town Council did a grave injustice to a great volunteer Wednesday evening. B. J. Davis has been a valued volunteer in several positions and groups including the CV Business Alliance and currently serving as the chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Letter: Verde Valley the ‘Land of Good Samaritans’
My experience Wednesday afternoon on January 9 suggests an appropriate slogan for the Verde Valley would be “Land of Good Samaritans.”
Letter: Art of compromise lost in today’s political world
Hopefully our next civil war will not last 30 years, but if we do not find middle ground I fear that this is where we are heading.
Letter: Get the government open, then work on your wall
rump and the Republicans have taken our country backwards another several hundred years. Come on White House, get the government open, then work on your wall.

Thank you to who all donated their time ringing bells for The Salvation Army during this past holiday season in front of Camp Verde’s Bashas’ Store.
Letter: President Trump the master baiter
I have to give grudging respect to Donald Trump and his art of the deal. Trump is very good at baiting people into his web.
