    I don’t want to complain but need to point out that this was a political meeting, politicians late to the fire and people. We don’t need the Phoenix news touting “Sedona is open for business” when Sedona is on fire and the air is poisonous. We don’t need Bush-style Presidency for “come shop” from the businesses. I’m tired and cranky and feel used but I’ll get over it, it’s beautiful here and our canyon will return in a few hundred years. I want to say that every bit of information that I got about the fire I got here (Phoenix stations for TV). You give it straight with no lies, honest with no sales, I’m sending $30 to say thanks. (deleted by editor) buy worker bees coffee. Hail to the firefighters and fire management appears to be tops. Maybe something was learned from the Yarnell boys sacrifices. Maybe now like Tresa Stitley asked we can get a fire ban in our southwest forests FOREVER! It’s past due.
