Posted by Troy Hunter on December 2nd, 2008Over the last couple of months, I have been attending the line siting hearings for the proposed APS’ TS5 to TS9 500/230 KV Transmission Line through the Northwest Valley. I am concerned that this entire affair is tantamount to a “land grab” by APS, which taxpayers are paying for now and in the future, by way of taxes, legal proceedings and impending rate increases. I am also concerned about the appearance of collusion on the part of developers and the City of Peoria to place this line to the north along Scenic Highway 74. Furthermore, by siting this transmission …

Posted by Maria Langer on November 3rd, 2008This year, once again, I’m urging Wickenburg residents to come out and vote…for a change.
As many people who know me well understand, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with Wickenburg for many years. It’s bothered me that the petty politics of the good old boys (and girls) takes precedence over decisions that can benefit the town. The question these people face on a daily basis is: Why do the right thing when you can make a decision that’ll put money in the pockets of your political cronies or family members?

Posted by Jim Cook on September 21st, 2008The Journal of Prevarication By Jim Cook Official State Liar of Arizona
Every so often, Miss Ellie asks me to let her know where I want my ashes buried, or scattered.
“Not right away, of course,” she adds kindly.
I told her once that I wanted my remains buried in the rustic cemetery at Burton, Arizona, but my headstone in Wickenburg, as befits a liar. She figured, correctly, that I was kidding.
But the other day, I told her I wanted my ashes buried under our new granite kitchen countertop, and my epitaph carved in its surface:

Posted by Scott Colbath on August 31st, 2008I’ve been given the opportunity to write some words on my views of the major issues facing Wickenburg during this 2008 election. I will try to be brief, but now that I am being labeled as a “politician”, and the fact that I am an individual who seems to have way too much to say, the chances of this being brief are minimal at best. Bear with me.
Annexation
I reluctantly support annexation. Why? Well, it is an expense for the town to annex new areas. There are additional costs associated with annexation, such as police and fire protection, …
