As many residents are aware, the City Manager told the RRN that the 7-year contract between the City and the Chamber of Commerce was his idea.

Regarding the City Manager’s recent “Sedona Community Report Spring 2018” throwaway paper: There was a full-page Chamber of Commerce advertisement on the back. Wasn’t this a violation of the City’s non-discrimination ordinance?

He says this at 1.02 in the presentation. This attitude must stop.

I disagree in the strongest possible terms. WE can limit growth, limit new hotels as much as possible, ELIMINATE funding for the chamber of commerce so they will no longer advertise for more tourists with dollars that can used elsewhere.

We can take our town back. Traffic does not need to be our destiny.

We need new leadership. This is our home. We can take it back.

He even says, I don’t think any of these changes will make it look like the off peak periods. He says this at about 37 minutes in the video.

Talk about a song and dance by the city manager. From my perspective the improvements will have next to no effect. Cut spending for the chamber, stop advertising for more tourists.

No on Home Rule, stop the insanity. The 30 million in spending will accomplish virtually nothing.

And in the meantime, if you needed another good reason to DENY renewing HOME RULE (if city council decides to actually let the voters have a choice) it only stand to reason that:

VOTING NO ON HOME RULE IS A VERY GOOD IDEA. (of course, that’s only my opinion which at least one high profile nut job on this cite never bother to qualify as his rants being)

Taxation without Representation? Wasn’t that the reason for the Boston Tea Party??

However when an incorporated area such as the City of Sedona carelessly and consistently makes decisions that do NOT reflect the will of the people and definitely are biased towards special interests in lieu of health, safety, and welfare for the good of ALL, then isn’t it time to reconsider why that reckless waste should not be challenged?

All too often in Sedona people in power have taken advantage, broken promises, and made decisions putting policies in motion that have served poorly, not only in upholding the part of the Community Plan to preserve the small town character, but out and out irresponsible choices which put lives of residents and tourists at stake. And worse yet, this is being done without benefit of audit, accountability, or in the case of selective city contracts, minus competitive bidding.

Why should such irresponsible activities merit or be rewarded the privilege of allocating millions of dollars of tax revenues and/or be worthy of continuing a policy that is proven to be ineffective IN SEDONA?

Isn’t it time to reverse this process, take a chance, and snatch away the privilege of “Home Rule” that is taken for granted and continues to be abused?

Translated: Vote YES on Home Rule – BAD, BAD IDEA (at least for now)

VOTE NO on HOME RULE = GOOD IDEA . . . . . . . GOOD IDEA

You won’t be missed….I’m sure you contributed zero except you complaints…
We got enough crybaby’s here on SE already… See ya

We cannot get to the Medical Center, for God’s sake! What’s wrong with you people even considering adding even MORE traffic? What you might consider is converting City Hall to an official Insane Asylum. Or maybe the idiotic Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center Sedona claims as their own.

More Hotels & Higher Density Development? BAD, BAD IDEA!!!!

Now that might be considered a good idea …. or NOT! That former Teen Center no matter what remains a Sedona white elephant and unnecessary expense. They raise our taxes to fix roads but refuse to rent out city property as a means to get revenue. Good idea? Bad idea?

Shame on them. All of you (except Currivan & Martinez) should take a hike.
