Unfortunately, the answers are simple and boil down to one thing. Our current Mohave County Board of "Stupidvisors" is just that, stupid!

Should they not just print the minimum information needed for the U.S. Postal Service to get it to your mailbox?

They are hypocrites of the same order as their presidential candidates. It makes no difference that a candidate is unfaithful to his wives, has been sanctioned and fined by his colleagues for conflict of interest money grubbing, or that he made millions as a hated lobbyist of his ex-associates.
