OK, I did my homework, Steve. What’s the Sedona loading council? Loading BS, right? P.S. I don’t own any gold and never have. You’re a total bonehead without all that much money to speak of either. Owning a 2nd rate 12 room B&B with a gravel parking lot doesn’t equate to having noticeable money in my books.

Presuming he was referring to the “lodging” council, his word choice was a far more appropriate version. Better yet, how about “The Sedona Council Loaded with BS?”

Rick, please do your home work, The Sedona loading council Is a business group that get no money from the chamber and we actual give money to the the city this year for the traffic study.
The chamber is a vender that contracts with the city.

When you say ” small group of simple buddies” you mean the people that get out and work , sit on local not for profit boards and give money to local groups, and support candidates for office, Is that what you want to stop?

Rick what ever happen to the coming crash you have predicted for the last five years, or the pending down fall of Sedona, look around things are good, hotels will spending over $25,000,000 this year on remolding and building and that is just the hotels,
most of it going to the locals business.
So much for your vast knowledge on economics.
I hope people don’t pay for you advice! Your free advice here had been way off.
Rick, I know you are a big fan of gold, seems gold is not doing so well off almost 50% last five years., some advice from Steve, now is the time to buy oil stocks , but what do I know I dropped out of high school and retired at 35.

Apparently, you don’t read well. The link you recite does not reflect opinions of Phx TV stations. It’s a recital of an opinion from the ultra liberal-Bernie Sander’s supporting Center for Media and Democracy and Arizona Working Families which isn’t based in Arizona but in Wisconsin. And, this is your authority for criticizing the Goldwater Institute? And, the GI isn’t a rag, you simpleton. It’s a law firm of prominent Constitutional lawyers that write things way over your head. Finally, the Right to Earn a Living Act is before the AZ House and soon will be before the Senate, both of which have Republican majorities who’ve already made it clear, as well as has the Governor, that it will be voted into law. So, I believe that majority would believe you’re the extremist that can’t even get his facts straight. That law will radically change the way Council does business.

@Steve Segner,

Steve, you just never are capable of dealing with even rudimentary deductive logic much less state law that trumps Council actions. The Right to Earn a Living Act will not permit the City to conduct it’s business the way you think is proper. No priority status for your Lodging Council and the C of C any more. You’re going to see the playing field leveled while you’re rolled out of bounds little guy. And, believe me, our new City Attorney is well aware of this situation unlike you who apparently knows nothing of it. That was my point that most readers here got…except for you and your group of simple buddies here.

@West Sedona Resident,

You’re always talking about asses which is astonishing considering yours is so large that National Geographic should designate it as a newly discovered continent. Anyway, if you’re as smart as you think you are, I can arrange a sponsored public forum for you to debate any issues you like with me in front of a crowd. Why don’t you give up on your incessant rants and have the guts to take me on in front of an audience? Or, or you just too much of an emotionally unstable wuss? Then, we’ll find out who’s starting to realize who’s for real and who hides under a rock.

Are you really going to use any info from the Goldwater Institute?

What a garbage rag!…. Here is what one of our local TV stations report about them…

http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20130313report-criticizes-phoenix-based-goldwater-institute.html

Ive read here for years and never posted….There are a small handful of you really are extremists!…

And for everyone here please just read the article…..! Ohy!

Ricks. reply, ” the Goldwater Institute and The Tenth Amendment Center are steadfastly working on proposed legislation “?
Rick get a job,
Oh. Yea that would mean making money, and you don’t believe in money….(just Gold),with Rick the sky is always falling and he never misses a chance to babble on about HIS latest conspiracies.

Your comment is unintelligible, as usual.

@All concerned readers at The Eye,

The Goldwater Institute and The Tenth Amendment Center are steadfastly working on proposed legislation which the Arizona State Legislature’s majority has indicated it will pass which is known as the “Right to Earn a Living Act.”

The proposed law recognizes that the right of individuals to pursue a chosen business or profession, free from arbitrary or excessive government interference, is a fundamental civil right. A single trash-hauler selection by the City will likely violate this Act. The Chamber of Commerce Destination Traveler contract already does. The proposed Act provides substantive protection for those rights while at the same time preserving the ability of state regulatory agencies and local governments to protect the public through legitimate and proportionate health and safety regulations. If a municipality violates the Act, then the Arizona Attorney General can take legal action against the miscreant municipality.

The Act would require that any ordinance or rule that limits entry or competition in a business or profession “shall be limited to those demonstrably necessary and carefully tailored to fulfill legitimate public health, safety, or welfare objectives.” That language contains three essential components: LEGITIMATE, NECESSARY, and TAILORED. “Legitimate” refers to traditional police powers such as the protection of health and safety. By contrast, ECONOMIC PROTECTIONISM—i.e. FAVORING SOME BUSINESSES OVER OTHERS — is NOT a legitimate object of government. “Necessary” and “tailored” refer to proportionality. IS A BAN ON MONOPOLY NECESSARY, or would free or regulated competition suffice? Is a particular rule properly applied to a specific profession, or is it largely unrelated to the products or services that are provided? It’s clear, that once passed, a single trash-hauler contract and the Chamber of Commerce contract with the City will be in violation of the law!

I’ll expect a truly stupid response from Segner or West Sedona Resident…
