Link to article

This was the article from the afternoon meeting I attended with many community leaders and recent critics of the city.

Here are a couple of interesting quotes from the article...

"We've got six monkeys that are poisoning our city," Jay Schritter said. "If they're not dirty ... they have the appearance of being dirty," he said later.


I actually cannot believe that one made the article.

This one is not as biting...

Developer Bill Nugent warned against going to the extreme and taking some of the issues to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Arizona Attorney General's Office.

"The ballot box is where you change your officials," he said.



There were other memorable things said at that meeting that I wish did make the paper, I must say. I'm slightly disappointed that they weren't.

One would have been (paraphrasing) that RAID should be more mindful of the things they say in public (media or in front of Council) because many in the community already think the group is extremist.

The other was a reminder that when the Interstate was opened up through Kingman nearly 30 years ago and the three existing traffic interchanges were built that many right there in the room did very well for themselves, and created many opportunities for the residents of Kingman, with the added infrastructure.
