Cannot resist temptation. Song & dance at a city council meeting? Bring on the monkey and organ grinder (is that what they were called?) and let’s pitch pennies into the circus ring. Honestly? Unbelievable.

Art in it’s place is one thing, the operative words being “in it’s place.” At Council meetings cheapens not only the reason for the meetings but the “performers” as well. Like in, how desperate can they be?

The most artistic part of the Council meetings is at the beginning – the Vision Statement video narrated by Nick Gioello. They should have left it at that. But if Jon Thompson has his way he’ll redo the one good thing they have going for them. Ego will prevail on center stage. Good for John Martinez for recognizing the inappropriate suggestion for what it was.

Not a surprise that Jessica Williamson and Jon Thompson declined the moment of silence. God forbid if they took time to think.

By a vote of 6-1 (John Martinez opposing) City Council approved adding a Moment of Art at the beginning of the first Tuesday monthly meetings of Regular Council Meetings, beginning in April. Also, the final decision by 5-2 approval was to retain the “Moment of Silence.” (The two council members objecting to retaining the Moment of Silence were Jon Thompson and Jessica Williamson.)

How’s that Moment d’Art working out for ya?

Segner, I’m Jan – not Jen if you intended to reply to me.

Do you know the difference between the “Redneck News” and “the the Red Rock new?”

For sure we agree on one thing. You state: “the the Red Rock new just did not want Cliff. ” And neither did YOU. So you and the two publications you mention got your way. So where’s the beef?

Selective arguments do not elevate. Sedonaeye is solid news. RR is selective. Steve, buddy, you have been given a voice. I read you and others here in real time and unfiltered. I read you on the road here not other places. Yes, there’s a difference.

If anyone believes the “Redneck News” hesitates to do a hatchet job on any person, issue, or candidate that goes against their own “opinions” then you must be snowbirds from Alaska and up for buying a refrigerator for sale that’s advertised in that same publication.

And just what’s so professional about that well known policy?

When the pot calls the kettle black, it is what it is. At least by the asinine editorial so generously shared by Steve Segner we have been reminded of the less than stellar tactics offered by our hometown printed newspaper. Really?

But for sure they keep up with what’s happening on Sedona Eye.

@Judy Stein – Are you aware of the very nasty editorial the Redneck News published during the last Sedona election? It massacred those candidates that didn’t support excessive funding to the chamber of commerce, in particular mayoral candidate Cliff Hamilton. And if ever we needed appropriate financial guidance Ron Budnick was the man also shot down by special interests only out for city money.

Maybe you might consider taking a page from Mr. Woodward’s book and learn a few valid facts yourself. Or are you among those that refuse to believe Smart Meters can’t endanger your health? That’s OK but it isn’t just you that’s subjected to the consequences.

“Redneck News” has historically been known for “selective” publication of letters to the editor, which of course is the prerogative of the publisher but most assuredly doesn’t guarantee professionalism in the field of journalism.

To Mr Warren Woodword

What a shame, doesn’t CF Graham know that you are always right? He should have known that if he questioned anything from anywhere he just has to ask you.

Thank you, Steve Segner, for enlightening the world of Sedona Eye readers to the phony-baloney nonsense of the local “REDNECK News.” Well said.

(But quite possibly an insult to legitimate “rednecks” who have far more class than the editorial to which you refer as well as integrity and fairness in journalism which as a rule is sorely lacking in our local “Redneck” production.)

Makes me appreciate Sedona Eye more than ever. Thanks again. You sure made my day – ho, ho, ho and one for road. YES:-)
