Vote count was 16 to rescind the letter of support and 6 to endorse the NM. Hat’s off to President Steve Nelson, and the council for running one of the best meetings in this effort!

I thank you both for your great contributions to the debate over this issue.

tsk.

obviously you have not read any of the comments here.

You like THE IDEA of it. Yes, a fine idea. Not only a fine idea, but a regular first class fairy tale. KSB can’t keep the promises they are making! The USFS is 11.7 BILLION dollars in arrears and there’s been 19 other National Monuments competing for the same (non-existent) grants. There is one source of money called the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) that gets it’s money from off-shore petroleum fees and taxes. KSB is under the delusion that this fund will take care of the Red Rocks. Yes. It will. But in nefarious ways – the USFS will use this money to purchase private property – particularly if the property has a good view and water rights.
Go read the KSB website again. Everything they say, actually the opposite is true.

I like the idea…

@Yunis DeVries – hello to you too! Yes! this National Monument goes against everything it means to live in a Republic because it’s takes away a democratic vote. We don’t like the direction this is taking, which is why it’s such a hot item.

The few people putting this proposal together have NO RIGHT to self-proclaim themselves as the voice of 80,000 and Tom O’Halleran has NO RIGHT to use Sedona as his spring board into the US Senate.
