					<description><![CDATA[OMG just found our about the city thinking of buying two lots uptown across from the fire station on Forest Road so they can build a parking garage? How can this be true? What happened to the plans for a parking garage on that expensive lot the chamber of crap bought on Jordan Road for that same purpose? Is it because another unnamed person is in the market to make another sizable commission on a different transaction? Just asking.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wise words from @Fred Knows. Maybe that&#039;s the problem - WISE words. This city government doesn&#039;t seem to know what that means.

Of course they won&#039;t discourage tourists from anyplace in the world as long as they have money to spend. Forget the residents. Forget contagious diseases. They don&#039;t care. Funny thing, though - all of them are as susceptible as anyone else so maybe a dose of a deadly virus might get their attention? Doubt it.

Just wait until THEY manage to have Sedona become a dedicated SANCTUARY city. Won&#039;t that be lovely? Let&#039;s face it they&#039;ve failed time and time again to produce affordable/work force housing which is because projects planned for that purpose were never monitored and developers thus allowed to jack up prices continue to be the end result.

Not much of a consolation but aren&#039;t those in charge actually the biggest losers of all?  Ethically and morally aren&#039;t they of zero value?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brendan Smialowski wrote &quot;The United States had planned to host a special summit of ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, on March 14 in Vegas has been canceled because of coronavirus concerns....&quot;

Sedona doesn&#039;t have masks or enough anti bacterial hand wash &#038; they keep advertising for German, English &#038; Asian guests. Somebody contact a lawyer for arrogant malfeasance of taxpayer money. Russia closed its borders to China weeks ago. Austria closed to Italy week ago. We&#039;re still begging them to drop by and contaminate us? Stop all advertising now. Start making sure that the city can cope with this virus. That&#039;s your job city council.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Should be &quot;Wondered Why&quot; the latest report was no candidates taking out papers to run for city council or mayor except whether or not the Kurt fellow did. However remembering last elections and the hatchet job from Chamber, Lodging Council, and Red Rock News editorials - yep - not afraid to mention the publication because it&#039;s just that - public) no wonder. Unless you&#039;ve been crowned by the selective designated queen of  Sedona (Pres/CEO of the Chamber of Crap) - you won&#039;t stand a chance!

Bye Sedona. Your legacy has gone to s***  OMG - IMO don&#039;t wanna be sued.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a way we are tourists, visitors from the Midwest staying with friends who live part-time in this area. We didn&#039;t learn about Sedona from any specific promotion other than word-of-mouth and are grateful to admit we are not contributing to your bed-tax assessment!

Our reason for commenting here is because of the nature of the format. The article itself is a reasonable take on a humorous comparison of a lilting tune with an invitation to readers to maybe offer another version. Fair enough it seems. However the main thrust of  comments seems to be an attempt to divert an ongoing local issue of control to a national political forum. Are we the only ones who are already sick of  over killing our two-party federal system for over the past three years?  Give it a rest!  Put a lid on the obvious diversion here and stick to the subject.

In the meantime we will attempt to come up with our own version of Rootin&#039; &#038; Tootin&#039; and if we succeed look for it to be an additional contribution.

We loved the rain but look forward to a few sunny days before we return to our home and what will seem like another endless winter. Thank you for this opportunity and if we ever decide to make Sedona our home (which we doubt) we hope your city government will have expanded beyond an apparent adoration of a local chamber of commerce. Unbelievable - really!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My opinion of what you describe is pretty much the situation of Sedona politics on a smaller scale of course.

People apparently aren&#039;t willing to even run for city council because unless they&#039;re backed by the local democratic socialists aka communists they will be verbally tarred and feathered by a certain outspoken Eye contributor as well as a local print &quot;rag.&quot;

There was one article here announcing the candidacy of a Kurt Gehlback for mayor but nothing more indicating whether or not he actually followed through. Even in that article the local Eye mouthy know-it-all announced he would NOT support him.

Therein lies a good reason for the reluctance people have to dedicate themselves to actually serving the residents of Sedona versus kissing the rear-ends of a lousy two-bit regional chamber of commerce that functions primarily to bribe businesses in becoming members of their club or stand the threat of being black-balled. Have they anything to boast about other than their Pres/CEO is paid just short of $12,000 monthly for &quot;sustaining&quot; their reputed Sedona rip-off? 

Mafia rules in Sedona? Isn&#039;t that the most recent claim to fame?  Hardly anything to &quot;root &#038; toot&quot; about.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Democratic Socialism vs. Socialism
Both democratic socialism and socialism advocate for a redistribution of wealth and power to meet public needs, not make profits for a few. Both aim to weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of the working people.

Democratic socialists, however, do not think the government should immediately take control of all aspects of the economy. Democratic socialism focuses more on providing basic needs to all people, such as health care and education. Democratic socialism, unlike socialism, would achieve this through democratic means and not an authoritarian rule.

There are democratic socialist parties located all around the world. The nations that have socialist parties include:

Armenia
Bolivia
Brazil
Croatia
Denmark
Ecuador
Finland
France
Germany
Greenland
Iceland
Italy
Luxembourg
Moldova
Netherlands
Nicaragua
Norway
Peru
Portugal
Serbia
Slovenia
Sweden
Tunisia
Turkey
UK
