Problem Solved We have a medical problem in Havasu. Not enough doctors, nurses and other medical professionals to serve the community. Now keep that thought in mind for a minute. Now along comes a party who wants to build a gas station / car wash / convenience store. Of course, they want to build it in a high traffic area and they need a good sized lot on which to do so. And as a former, longtime Realtor here, I know that there just aren’t many of those types of vacant land available. Now, every few years we spend a lot of money on the so-called General Plan. And that General Plan helps the city with establishing zoning. So who’s bright idea was it to zone a piece of property for either medical / health care use or for a gas station? Does that even make sense? So, to attract more health professionals we turn a property in the Medial District into a gas station? Does that show our commitment to providing more health care professionals to our residents? For the most part, doctors make a pretty good living, and I have no problem with that at all. And many like to build and own their own office buildings. We are removing one of the last remaining vacant lots in the Medial District. Some might argue that the property has remained undeveloped for over 60 years so maybe it needs a better use. I would argue that we need more medical facilities and more health care professionals. And this is no way to attract them. This will only make the problem worse.

Maybe I am Confused Donald Trump starts a war without the approval of, or consultation with Congress. This war is costing somewhere around $1 Billion dollars a day and yet Congress has not approved one cent to finance his war. One of the various reasons Trump attacked Iran was regime change and to accomplish that Trump needs to obliterate Iran’s military and wreck it’s economy. And among the several ways of doing that he has lifted some of the sanctions on Iran. And to further his goal he also lifted some sanctions on Russian oil. The same oil that is propelling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Oil from the same dictatorship that is providing intelligence to Iran’s military to be used to kill and injure American soldiers. Trump declares daily that the war is won and then states that it probably will be over in another week or two. Trump gives Iran deadlines with dire threats if they don’t do what he wants and then extends those deadlines again and again. Trump says that there will be no American troops on the ground unless he changes his mind and yet there are thousands of Marines on their way across ocean heading to do battle with a country whose soldiers believe that dying for the Ayatollah will get them into heaven where 70 some virgins await them. Now to be sure, Iran having atom bombs is a terrible idea and should not be allowed. But as a retired Army general pointed out, the much-feared enriched uranium can be stored in barrels and kept in someone’s garage, back porch or the basement of houses. In other words, we have no idea where it is. Therefore all those bombs we are dropping may not solve the problem. So what the heck are we doing?
