    Verde Valley AZ (January 19, 2015) – On February 7, 2015, the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley is celebrating the idea of a nonpartisan civic organization to provide the education and the experience the public needs to assure the success of democracy – The League of Women Voters! With passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920 that gave women the right to vote, the League of Women Voters was formed with the thought that women needed enlightenment and encouragement to vote.

    Immediately, the League of Women Voters became involved with a number of significant issues such as Child Labor laws, the Reclassification of Federal Civil Service, the Filled Milk Bill and Appropriations for the War, Navy, Commerce and Labor Departments. These were hardly just “women’s issues” – these were issues for all! For 95 years, the League of Women Voters has worked to ensure our democracy is transparent, effective, and truly representative. Those challenges are as real today as they were for our suffragist foremothers who struggled for their right to vote so many years ago.

County Supervisors from Yavapai and Coconino Counties – Chip Davis, Tom Thurman and Matt Ryan are coming together to talk about the Verde Valley they see in the next 5 to 10 years.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
