Our View: Leave well enough alone

The Sierra Vista Herald/Bisbee Daily Review

One characteristic of a good manager is the ability to listen.

Managers who listen to their employees often address problems before they occur, or respond better when problems do happen.

So we’re wondering what Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin is thinking when he told a reporter at the State Capitol last week that it was no big deal for a federal court to intervene on the recently approved congressional and legislative maps.

Lawyers, guns and money


Tue, 05/15/2012 - 12:01am


It appears that some people believe that I have no interest in the water from the springs because I stated that I like the option of drilling a well for a reliable source of water. 

Of course, right after making that statement I also stated that the city always had three wells, and do not get me wrong, that the free water from Huachuca Mountains is a great asset to the city.

Herald/Review

The City of Tombstone’s use of water from the Huachuca Mountains has some people concerned about the impact on wildlife, in an area that is renowned for the viewing of birds.

The Monument Fire last year burned about 30,500 acres and destroyed or damaged nearly 70 structures. Subsequent rains and mudslides crushed waterlines and destroyed reservoirs, shutting off the main source of water for Tombstone last July.
