Wasn’t it just last year the Sedona city manager committed to an 8 yr agreement for the chamber to receive bed tax rebate? No need to bother with it annually, Folks.

That means the deal was done for that extended time and at the $2.5 mil for the current year – in 8 yrs the Chamber of Commerce members will benefit an ass kicking $20 MILLION DOLLARS of Sedona city revenue and now $$$$ are for telling residents how to be sustainable? WTF We’ve been sustainable long before others were sustainable up here in the desert.

Well we can’t argue their talent for making their own “private club” sustainable. BUT how many residents are members of that special club? What about the tourists? Are tourists members of that Sedona Chamber of Commerce club and benefiting from sustainability messaging? WTF Doubt It! Somebody said it’s all a crock of BS and add my high five. Sucks being a Sedona taxed payee.

Conspicuous by absence was the chamber of commerce and/or lodging council representation commanding center stage.

Hmmm – wonder what’s that’s about?
Calm before the next storm indeed = my opinion too.

Yesterday the city council meeting actually adjourned shortly after 6:00 PM!compared to the usual 3-4 hr. sessions. Not many folks there. Maybe absorbed with national issues? (equally boring IMO) And oh yeah Robert Pickels was still there. Hmmm …. maybe mandatory to have a city attorney present until a replacement has been hired?

Just thought you all couldn’t live without this breathtaking update. However enjoy the moment. Chances are it won’t last. Probably just the lull before the next storm.

Ho-Hum . . .

Too smart by half.

Why do you read Sedona Eye if you find it so distasteful. Just asking. Hope that helps ease your pain from self-torture:-)!

Nothing you write makes any sense. Transparency and legitimate Requests For Proposals could very well have eliminated the uproar. The C of C is NOT a professional advertising agency. Otherwise they wouldn’t have subcontracted with a firm down in Phoenix. The situation with City/Chamber never did pass the smell test and it still doesn’t. Proves ya get what ya pay for? Ask the Chamber, now owners of prime property uptown paid for with the city’s nickel. Maybe they represent the exception to the rule? Stench is rancid. PEE-YOU!

Paying the Sedona Chamber to bring in tourists that drive thru and don’t stop in Sedona has negative value.

Award winning, is that like participation trophies?

Was it an award for the biggest small town ripoff?

All growth is not good, unless you want Sedona to look like Mombay (Bombay) or San Francisco, complete with feces and tents.

Preservation of small town character? No way !! All some care about is money.
