🌺 🧅 Orchids & Onions: Thursday, March 7, 2024 | Opinion
Another great day in Havasu… The problem is that there is no parking enforcement outside of Lake Havasu State Park.

Our View: Stronger oversight still necessary for Go Lake Havasu | Opinion
Go Lake Havasu's hiring of Susan Smith as CEO last fall highlighted serious deficiencies in the executive committee's due diligence.

Opinion: A carve out could wreck California coastal protections
If California's coast is a state asset worth trillions of dollars, and in fact, why is the state agency that has been protecting that asset for 50 years under attack? There is no basis for the answer “Yes.” But California's extraordinary history of coastal protection is at greater risk today in the halls of the […]
Good Morning: Best Mexican food in Lake Havasu City? | Opinion
Like any other country's cuisine, Mexican cuisine is not monolithic. It's not just combo plates and tacos.
