Because national politics in Sedona appears to be in control here (presently by Democrats) it will be interesting to maybe learn if partisan split even back then had anything to do with the demise of what appears to have been a really well thought organization.

Simple and clear. The city is vote buying by GIFTING money to those who will rally the votes so that city has as much money as they can gift away.

@Jim, Brewer Road Resident until the people unite the chamber and SS will be spending your money to pay for their businesses. The city council only cares about those that tell them how smart and wonderful they are. They never managed anything, old folks getting wined and dines by staff and chamber cronies.

Very clear city has stacked the decks and buys votes with favors, grants, control and mostly YOUR money. YOU pay they play. This is why the chamber spend so MUCH of TAXPAYERS money to win homerule a guarantee of increases to their city subsidies easy peasy 2.5 million a year with automatic raises. No restrictions. no controls.

Maybe it time to recall.

What really galls me is Keep Sedona Beautiful has their building almost next to the vacant city owned park with two buildings rotting away. What the (blank) is wrong with those members of KSB? Why aren’t THEY lobbying for improvements to that promised park instead of having city money go to the US Forest Service for trail maintenance in the Greater Sedona Area – way outside City of Sedona’s jurisdiction? What’s wrong with this picture???

“in and around the Sedona area.”

The Sedona city council has no idea what their jurisdiction is. They want to discuss funding the US Forest Service, they refuse to look at the roads within the city limits in dire need or repaving. They donate to the Mayor’s event, the Sedona Wine Fest, yet there are no winerys in Sedona. The Sedona Council gives $2.5 to the Greater Sedona Chamber of Commerce, most cities gives theri chamber nothing.

MORONS.

This is what happens when morons elect morons. Wake up Sedona residents? Actually, the recent election was the wake up call but Sedona residents slept through it.

Just when ya think ya’ve heard them all. Try this on for size.

City Council meeting – Tuesday, 10/23/18 – 4:30 PM

“Discussion/possible action regarding a Resolution approving a new Collection Agreement between the City of Sedona and the US Forest Service so that the City may provide funding to the US forest Service for construction, improvements, and maintenance of the non-motorized trail system in and around the Sedona area.”

The city “gifts” Tlaquepaque” use of the city-owned property on Brewer Road for excess parking on the property the city owns on Brewer Road. And that property, purchased for the purpose of making it a city-owned public park, sits in disrepair because the city claims they don’t have the money for improvements? And yet they are now attempting to find a way to GIVE MONEY to the USFS, A FEDERAL AGENCY, to make improvements on trails systems – now GET This – “in and AROUND the Sedona area.”

There simply is no limit to the gall of this city council and city administration. How much more proof do you people need? Isn’t it way past due for a similar organization to the 4’R’s to rise from the ashes and correct whatever problem they may have had and take back our Sedona? What’s going on is sooooo out of control!! Wake up Sedona residents.

WOW Rock On Bill! Long time since hearing your name! Talk about being on a roll. Your words are right on Sir. I would just bet your ancestors are rolling in their graves over the bad energy that’s now controlling Sedona. So much for the former positive vortexes. Be sure to weigh in when the gateway forest service swap comes round again. Your opinion mattered then and should again.

Apparently unlike some other comments on Sedona Eye, my reason for reading it is because of the varied articles and contributors. (Why people like @Gretchen waste their time by not explaining why it’s boring/yawn makes me think it’s a kid or troll.)

The concept behind this 4-R alliance appears to have been well thought out. What’s wrong with offering an opportunity for people to express their concerns to likeminded thinkers? The Lodging Council and Segner do it all the time and get paid by the Council to do it. Chamber of Commerce does it all the time and gets paid by the city to do it while Self Payers like B’nai Brith, Episcopal Women, Knights of Columbus, Sierra Club, Dark Skies Society, Humane Society, Sedona Restaurant Group, Keep Sedona Beautiful and so on and so on do it. Think about it before sucking air.

What’s interesting in the title is “Rise and Fall”. Was it for no other reason than to give Gretchen and Friends an opportunity to gripe about Sedona Eye? If Gretch the Wretch & her Fetchits want to play harp and drum about articles try the recent RR Snooze trying to indicate it’s because of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE the national economy is surging! Weren’t they around when Sedona’s economy tanked? How about that for low mentality??? Speaking of yawning.
