SFD Candidates Wear Grass Roots Label

Dear Sedona Eye Editor, As one of many individuals who distributed campaign literature to every accessible household in the District, I KNOW Nazih Hazime, Diane Schoen and Corrie Cooperman did not have Union help. It was an incredibly difficult undertaking and an extraordinary accomplishment for a grass-roots group of citizens – determined to make a stand – to have completed such a daunting...

Sedona AZ (April 18, 2012) – The Sedona Eye news received this Letter to the Editor: I was surprised that the Sedona Red Rock News printed Mayor Adams’ personal attack on Terrie Frankel in it April 13, 2012 edition. I thought it was SRRN policy not to publish personal attacks; that criticism of others’ opinions had to be couched in general terms/references without identifying or...
