Bottom 3 out of 6 (deleted by editor)
So let me get this straight, 3 multi-millionaires push to get a piece of every policial group in our city. (deleted by editor) They soundly lost their bid to kill Home Rule, get Prop 446 passed and 447 to fail. It sounds more to me that the citizenry of Sedona has had their fill of this group. (deleted by editor)
It makes me sad for the future of Sedona. The Greed, Lies and most distressing are the SORE WINNERS. It shows evidence of poor character and values.
So sad. I’ll pray you all see the light.
First time we get a SFD vote and people don’t vote. Typical Sedona. Good slate of candidates. Now move on & get down to business.
What firefighters earn in every state – Today’s online article
…………The average annual wage for firefighters was $51,930 in May 2017, which is the most recent year for employment and wage statistics available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s not a bad wage. But it depends on where you are. Firefighters in some states have annual salaries topping $75,000, while others are paid something close to minimum wage……..(excerpt)
…see the average annual salary that firefighters receive in all 50 states, starting with the lowest earners.

Place from the lowest:
26. Arizona: $46,330
Average hourly wage: $22.27
Sedona Firefighters make more than the state average,
“Putting their lives on the line everyday.” One little detail, no Sedona Fire fighter has ever lost their life in the line of duty. Truck drivers have a better chance of dying on the job.
Sedona had the best firefighters money could or couldn’t buy called volunteers that did superb jobs. Don’t misunderstand. I understand the increase in tourism made it why Sedona needed to go professional and it all started with none other than a highfalutin California Chief (he loved big spending). It’s time for Arizona Chiefs to rein it in now. We have enough equipment to do the job extremely well and we get help from US Forest Service and 2 counties! That’s all we need and it’s time to maintain a steady budget and not spend more. Think about it.
Ok, let’s look at your volunteer option for a second-
Given that the median age is the Verde Valley is 58 years old and we don’t have a lot of men and women in their 20’s or 30’s, who do you think are going to put those fire suits on with air packs and run into fires???? Even if we did have a few 20 or 30-year-old’s willing to do that, how do they work at their paying job, take the required training that is over 1000 hours AND ENJOY A FAMILY?
I’m surprised that you old timers keep harping on going back to volunteers. Unless you all want to put your walkers and canes aside and pitch in, you’d better come up with a better answer.
You must be reading impaired or senile and like to rant for the sake of ranting? I SAID DON’T MISUNDERSTAND THAT I KNOW WHY IT WENT PROFESSIONAL. You ran right to first base after striking out and had a temper tantrum when told to go in the dugout. If you read the election propositions and responded the same way then we can count on your vote like your comment making no difference.
I guess with the past election failures …..
AZ Liberty gonna to have to find a NEW name again..
Tea Party……AZ LIBERTY…….what’s next?
Also the leaders should deny membership to the previous two..

Take the LOSS in your local elections like a MAN
Your a small vocal minority with deep pockets which amounts to ZERO.
“My father always said ….. “ if it smells like BS it most probally is BS..
About sums up your organization
Those wins are impressive except that hundreds of other tea partiers helped those candidates get elected. Problem is that you couldn’t get yourselves elected in your home city. You lost 4 elections in a row, how impressive will you be to your buddies now.
Tried to kill Home Rule FAILED
Tried to get your slate elected to mayor FAILED
Tried to get your PBA elected (at a cost of $50k of taxpayers money) FAILED
Tried to get your slate (deleted by editor) elected to SFD FAILED
So you’re trying to impress me….HOW????
