NEW COUNTY - LAKE HAVASU
 Lake Havasu City - Dr. Bill Ullery has taken it upon himself to collect information on Mohave County’s finances and has now outlined the process necessary for the city to secede from the county. Ullery states the current statutes on creating a new county establish several significant hurdles that are quite unreasonable, and our review teams have come to the conclusion that trying to work within that statute would not be to the advantage of the citizens of Lake Havasu City. He also said he has received a lot of feedback from the reports. He has received 200 or 300 emails from people offering to help, wanting to do something, but has not seen the leadership emerge yet.
Supervisor, Buster Johnson, stated that he feels "smaller is not better", but he understands that the people of Lake Havasu City are "fed-up" being the biggest contributors to the county and receiving less benefits.
According to the plan, Golden Shores would be divided down the middle being half in Mohave County and half in Lake Havasu County. All of the information gathered is available on the website, seen by clicking here.

MAN RUNS OVER WIFE

EDITOR NEEDED
The editor of this paper AND The Civic needs an assistant. I need someone that I can train to possibly take over in the event something happens to me. Besides, this little paper is growing very fast and there is going to be room for expansion soon. It would be part time work, but you must be quite computer literate. There is no pay from the Civic Association, so the hours and pay are low, but great potential. If interested, call me at 768-1400 or email ys@goldenshores.net.
