Democrats started trying to remove President Donald Trump from office before he entered office. Now they are proposing to remove him from office after he leaves office.
Some people in Pinal County, like those across the country, volunteer their time, and often their dollars, to support community organizations. This is something they enjoy doing, especially during retirement but not just then. Those efforts provide a good deal of what is available to the pub…

The old saying “Revenge is a dish best served cold” is understood to mean it is better to deliver retribution for a perceived or actual injustice after time has passed, in order for it to be done dispassionately. Sometimes it is better not to serve that dish at all. Like perishable food left…

Gov. Doug Ducey delivered his annual State of the State address Monday, and of course COVID-19 was a major theme. He in part talked about its effect on education, which is on the minds of many.

After having lived and served in the Casa Grande area for over two decades, I am still learning about the soul of our once small rural district. We don’t yet have the size or populace of the northern or southern Valley communities, although we are growing at an amazing rate. When I came to t…
As the presidential transition takes place and the new Congress and Arizona Legislature get underway, many of us will be paying attention and providing our perspectives. To say each branch of government – executive, legislative, judicial — has challenges and opportunities is nothing new.

For this issue we get two of the most rugged off-road vehicles on the market. First up is the Toyota Land Cruiser. This is a serious rig, with four-wheel drive, locking differentials, crawl control, high ground clearance and a massive frame built like a tank. This would explain the massive w…
Cry, the beloved country.
Manufacturing is a key driver of Arizona’s economy. The industry employs approximately 177,500 people in more than 5,000 establishments in our state.
When the impeachment trial of President Trump in the U.S. Senate ended with his acquittal, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine suggested that the president had now learned a lesson. Indeed, he had, he learned that he was exempt from punishment for any wrongdoing. Many of his actions since that day h…
The mob violence that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday was deplorable and disgusting. It is the antithesis of a free society that wishes to remain free. Any supporter of President Trump and his policies must denounce this horror with even more vehemence than they denounced the riots…

My most memorable New Year’s Day took place five years ago on a cold, clear morning in another life. We awoke to find a 30-acre lake where there had been pasture the night before. The Arkansas River had been rising ominously for days, and when it got high enough, it always backed up the bayo…
The water supply in central Arizona is spread increasingly thin, especially when seen on a long-term basis as a drought continues. Decades ago, Valley cities began buying farmland to secure alternate sources, although some of the land later was sold off. Now there is talk of a long-term leas…

It’s tempting these days to believe that once COVID-19 is contained, the U.S. economy will bounce back quickly, replenishing jobs and incomes lost in the pandemic. Yet there is an early warning sign that high-demand jobs may be hard to fill when the labor market fully reopens, even with mill…
CASA GRANDE — Here’s a fun fact: Over 80% of the New Year’s resolutions people make will fail by February (cue the “Debbie Downer” music).
Some people remember floods that devastated Pinal County in 1983 and 1993, especially the earlier one, which covered the then-small community of Maricopa with mud and destruction. In the early 2000s, Maricopa began developing into one of the county’s largest cities, and planning resulted in …

New year, new president, new prospects, new attitude.
Guess what? There are some tough times ahead. And things are going to get a little crazier.

If you just woke up from a yearlong coma, you might ask: What’s with all the masks?
If the 2020 Maricopa Real Estate market could be described with a picture, there would be lots of fireworks and rockets. We started the year in what seemed like a normal start with a lower inventory and the expectation of an increase of inventory as January progressed.
I don’t like making predictions for a new year because they are just guesses and like palm readers, fortune-tellers and “experts,” guesses are often wrong.

It’s 2021 and with the change in calendar comes full implementation of Arizona’s ban against texting while driving. Actually, the law started nearly two years ago without teeth to enforce it, and hopefully it has had some effect already. Even at that, it was long overdue because of oppositio…
Misuse and abuse of over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications have been in the news recently. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning on Sept. 27, 2020 about the “Benadryl Challenge" of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Our social media trends are incentivizing teens to t…
So what’s it going to be, America? The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? Chaos and misrule, or the gradual rebirth of democratic governance under President Joe Biden?

A 3-2 majority of the Arizona Corporation Commission last week approved the sale of Johnson Utilities, shortly before two new members are seated on the ACC at the beginning of the year. The decision was somewhat controversial, but it brings a tough problem to closure. And the decision was ap…
This week we get two compact SUVs to drive, starting with the Mazda CX-30. This all new rig is based on the Mazda3 sedan platform and has a low starting price of $22K. Ours was loaded up with everything, so it had some sticker shock at over $31K. This includes four-wheel drive for best traction.
