" Who said you were all raised Mormon? If your church taught you to save for a rainy day then just do it and chill out. They probably also taught you to live a christ-like life. "

" You got me Bob W. I'm just an old cantankerous man who likes to comment under many different names to stir up trouble without anyone knowing who I am. But it looks like someone knows! Now I'll have to change up my set list of names and think of new ones. Thanks for making me think, shoot. "

" How do you know that Jill isn't a Mormon or a woman? That sounds awfully suspicious to me. If you can tell that from an email, perhaps you would like to play your game some more and devine my sex, age and religion as well. HMMMM? We're waiting!!! Well?? "

" It's "raised" Baptist, not "raise" Baptist, that makes you sound ignorant. Also, "Jill R. is neither a member of the Church of Latter-day Saints nor a man. Some people just like to stir up trouble, and they know anything with LDS in it will stir up controversy. My advice would be to take these comments with a grain of salt and do not get upset over what some lunatic writes. "

" The BOS are all in Phoenix right now living it up while we're struggling at home. They say they have meetings in Glendale? What does that cost us taxpayers? "

" They can't control the economy or the price of copper, but they can prepare for a rainy day just like the Church teaches us. "

" Economic Diversification was strongly suggested to the BOS on at least 4 occasions in the past three years.

Each time they claimed they just didn't have it in the budget. So now, they have NO budget!

Even the Az Dept of Commerce suggested they work to diversify the local economy - and they simply ignored the suggestion.

They don't want you to know that.

But all 3 were re-elected anyway. So now Larry, Curly and Moe will continue at the BOS for another 4 years. "




it was suggested that they wrote on Dec 3, 2008 9:10 AM:

" diversify the economy while times were good.

I don't suppose anyone remembers the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper?

When times were good, our BOS should have been using the wave to lay up economic diversification for when times went bad (like now).

But what were the newly re-elected BOS doing instead? Certainly not working to capitalize on our growth to diversify our economy.

What can you expect from Palmer, John and Herrington?? They maintained the status quo with a County Manager who is semi-retired and doesn't want more work. "

" Hey..
That's no fair. You ask me a question and then answer it yourself. Could be an indication of someone with narrow-minded views? After all you refered to other correspondants as "Know it All's" Isn't that starting to sound more like you? "Clueless" Hummmmm..gee, how do I respond to that? It's not true, of course. For the record: I'm a progress liberal, degrees in both Philosophy and Management. My last I.Q. score in college was 126. And reading other people's editiorals shows I'm interested in others point of view. That's the best I can do.. "

" Ha! Everybody loves a good editoral..."To A Voter", writes in defense of local politicians. Calling us a bunch of good for nothing haters because he apparently didn't agree with our opinions. It's just too funny! The local politicians are doing a good job? Oh, this guy is a laugh a minute...Run for office or shut-up? That's it? That's are only options..? Dissent is a very health function in public discourse.
Practice what you preach Mr. Voter. You have a right to an opinion and so does everyone else in this Democracy. "

" Ya seem to know all the answers. The people voted and we got the most qualified for the position. People who run off their mouths are good at nothing. All they want in life is to stir hate and content. The supervisors of this county knows what is going on and they seem to be doing a darn good job. Their roots are in this valley and they want the best for it. All I can say is run for office your self and show all of us what you can do or shut your big mouth. "

" Even before Copper prices went down this county was over built. Without layoffs their still would not be enough buyers for all of the completed devevloments. Some developers will wait this out, but most can not afford to sit on their project and will end up losing it all. "

" Have you ever heard of Max Hinton , he ran for supervisor and was beat by a few hundrd votes, his whole campaign was bringing in new solar, green energy to our valley. I have watched as other communities in Arizona get these great commercial opportunites and all Safford and Graham county do is sit on their thumb.
Next election remember the name Max Hinton, word is he is going to give it another try. "




A voter wrote on Nov 29, 2008 7:45 AM:

" All during the recent election, all the current board of supervisors could talk about was the most pressing issue was the unpresidented growth. Shows how much the current board knows of what is happening in their county. Good luck newly elected board of superviosrs you are going to needall the help you can get. Remember elector you voted them into office. "




Matt wrote on Nov 29, 2008 6:57 AM:

" Yes, I am equally surpriced at the number of residental developments. What I want to know is who is going to purchase all these houses; if there is very few well paying jobs here? Safford needs a manufacting base, like building solar panels or computer chips, then perhaps half the town won't close down when the price of copper drops. With "real employment oppurtunities", people could afford to move into some of these new houses. The time to build the future is now... "

" Wow I didn't know there were so many residential areas being developed. Where are they located can the Courier give us a map? "
