By Jason Stone, Sedona Resident(October 11, 2020)Why I don’t need another debate to decide who to vote for…ECONOMY:Trump has delivered record low unemployment for almost every group of Americans. If you have a 401k or IRA, you’re very happy. He delivered tax cuts that put money in the pockets of middle class Americans and his elimination of regulations has created thousands of jobs. He increased wages for low and middle income earners for the first time in decades. His energy policies have given us independence from corrupt Middle East governments, jobs and wealth. His trade deals with Mexico, Canada and…

By Beverly Hedden, Cottonwood Resident(October 10, 2020)Regarding the article in the Cottonwood Journal Extra, ‘Woman arrested for sign theft’, I find this article very disturbing, as sensationalized by the Managing Editor.First of all, who would even follow, record, and take pictures of a simple, probably impulsive, act that is clearly a misdemeanor?
