Giving them millions and then charging $2 bucks for kids under twelve for a Easter Egg Hunt! Every time one penny goes to special interest group they degrade their own citizens and employees. Real smart. Let’s throw more money at the chamber and double our sewer fees. “They deserve it”

The real “Tea Party” in Sedona are those spending tax payers money on their own special groups. They have nothing to do with city. A 1.3+ million dollar party for the chamber, 250,000 party for the film festival. Newspaper gets the advertising money to advertise the city meeting and event, along with chamber and film festival. Don’t forget the editors own group gets funding from city .

Citizens pay, kids pay. But the good ole boys know better. Look at who speaks on behalf of the city funding these groups, every single one have a conflict of interest.

The only tea party crowd I see are those who get funded for their parties by the City of Sedona!

You and tea party crowd love talking out both sides of your mouth!!

If you think Richard Sanders/tony Tonish is a smart legit man, your as crazy and fraudulent as he is!!

You loose all credibility by your constant negative and personal vents and attacks.

I’ve lived in Sedona for 4 decades and we always had an “EASTER EGG HUNT” for my kids and now my grandchildren ….maybe done by a woman’s business group or ?? or ??? Never the less – it was always an Easter Egg Hunt.

Suffice it to say – My kids grew up with the annual “Easter Egg Hunt” at the Posse Grounds. And I repeat the word ” EASTER” Egg Hunt.

I agree with Bonnie.

@Tom G: I really think you are the one crying and moaning. Richard S simply points out truth of budget and concepts.

Please Tom G – Find a new hobby!

Last question to all: is taking the word “Easter” out of the historic events at Posse Grounds Park a way of denuding or sterilizing Easter out of our vocabulary? If so, WOW, this new political and religious free concept of how it works is just nuts and without merit…God is on all our currency, Easter is a bunny and Christian’s Celebration, as our Jewish Friends celebrate Passover…

Can’t we just all live together and celebrate all religions and holidays?

(1) I agree with voting “NO” on Home Rule;

(2) I believe fees should be implemented at events across the board if this city continues their march to serve entire northern Arizona and, especially, the thousands of tourists the Chamber of Commerce takes credit for bringing into Sedona.

(deleted by editor) you are so funny in a very twisted manner

You cry, bitch and moan about “how your Hard Earned tax dollars are spent particularly on Freebee’s given to the Freebee’s takers”(which happens to be only the things they tax when you buy something ie: sales tax) which for a guy like you probably ain’t much!!

Now your crying that Sedona is charging for an Easter egg hunt!!

Your like a jellyfish with no spine, just float which ever way the wind blows with the only constant in your life is Hate of everything!!

Way to go Tony, you must be a very interesting man( NOT)

Keep your camera ready there may be two police talking to each other for 10 min, quick take a picture your idiot!!

If that is progress under home rule, please vote for NO HOME RULE!!

So, who was it authorized the change, when did it occur, and was it ever discussed in a public meeting?

I’ve Cc’d City Manager Tim Ernster with some of my correspondence with City Council only because a specific answer to my question has not been forthcoming. Easter ultimately concludes staggered spring breaks which have annually lured tourists to Sedona for years (nope, the Chamber of Commerce didn’t originate that trend).

Who authorized removal of the words Easter Egg Hunt from the sign at Posse Grounds Road and other publicity and have all the little children been advised that the Easter Bunny is dead and buried because “it was the politically correct thing to do?”

Thank you.
