If we all lived by that quote, there would be no comment section in the Sedona Eye

@West Sedona resident:

Guess you really did not read the Jerome Christmas celebration article that was posted on this site? In order to refresh your memory here is the link: https://sedonaeye.com/a-very-jerome-christmas

As you read the article, I believe you will find that the City of Jerome is Not floating the bill on this Home Grown Christmas activity and the only money making activity is an auction of a few fun filled baskets which seem to all be donated by the community. Not sure how you find a way to use term Entitlement in the Jerome activity………but then I forget…….that’s your favorite blinder’s on game.

Entitlement? …or as you prefer to say ENTITLEMENT ENTITLEMENTS … no Entitlements as their (Jerome) City Government doesn’t seem to be paying for it.

Oh, and by the way, not sure how you think I collect Social Security (as though it is any of your business or makes a difference in the current discussion) yet if that rocks your boat – whatever – but lets keep with your twisted thought process; Fact is that people who pay into FICA or SS all their working life’s through their paychecks or business’s are not getting anything back for free!

Webster defines Entitlement as:

en·ti·tle·ment noun \-ˈtī-təl-mənt\

: the condition of having a right to have, do, or get something

: the feeling or belief that you deserve to be given something (such as special privileges)

: a type of financial help provided by the government for members of a particular group

My understanding of definitions of Entitlements are where a City sends/spends more than a million dollars towards a particular group (Regional Chamber) with unproven revenue return or net gain proof as a result of activities as the Regional Chamber keeps promoting their grand and grasping ideas as they feel ENTITLED to use tax payer and City Revenue’s to promote what other towns do Without a cool million dollars from their local government.

Totally agree with IMAM ALI saying “Silence is the best reply to a fool.”

Nuff said and Merry Christmas Scrooge!!!

It is not legal, it a loophole. Segner must declare that he lives routinely at his business, using one of the rooms. The state is working on changing that loophole.

Before I’m attacked by the grammar police on this site, my previous comment should have been: “No worse than the many out of city Chamber members who get free publicity from city tax money while non-chamber city based BUSINESSES (not members) must pay $50 to get city financed visitor center references.”

Nice point made by “Red Rock Loop.” Once Rob Adams replaces Yavapai County Supervisor Chip Davis (announced he will not run) it will become clear why Adams has insisted he represents the “region” versus just Sedona City for which he was elected Mayor here. Think he was rehearsing for his new role? OMG: Red Rock Crossing development, wet lands – YIKES – all the way between Sedona and Cottonwood?

Looking forward to a HO, HO, HO Christmas celebration in Jerome! YES!!

Since “Cali Sedona” explained precisely how Steve Segner is allowed to vote in Sedona, I must reluctantly join those who continue to badger Sharlett for her persistence in demanding a direct answer from Segner. He is legally allowed to use his business address under the terms set by the State of Arizona. So, that’s how it is and now we all know he is legally cheating and gets away with non-payment of city taxes every time he has a wedding reception at his “real” residence in Oak Creek Canyon. No worse than the many out of city Chamber members who get free publicity from city tax money while non-chamber city based members must pay $50 to get city financed visitor center references.

West Sedona Resident would have more credibility if he/she would do away with anonymity and proudly announce true identity. And why the latest Tea Party heckling (in agreement with Keith, Sedona)?

The County is paving the unpaved portion of Red Rock Loop road.

Paving of the unpaved portion of Red Rock Loop Road in the Sedona area. Existing unpaved roadway will be paved by adding base course material and asphaltic concrete. Existing roadway alignment will not change; some limited widening will occur. Drainage improvements are included including creating a few small culverted crossings where existing at-grade watercourse crossings exist. Existing cattle guard will be replaced, some new guardrail will be installed in a few places. Conflicts with existing utilities are not anticipated.

Red Rock Crossing issue coming at you next . Maybe build a small river walk through that area? Is there any creek front that was not privatized? Add a few hotels? Then they could build outside of the city and we could use the Chamber to promote it……

That would take away from the ttlaq expansion though, wouldn’t it?
