It’s certain to be a long day and even a longer four years if Home Rule passes. If defeated, a mere two years of good behavior will for sure serve us well in order to see if the city “earns” the privilege to write their own script again.

Another great reason for the Sedona electorate to vote NO on Home Rule.

What about locations without doors such as inside shopping areas. Where would they post a warning?

Mr Segner is showing his true coat of colors with the great, vastly perceived empirical and superior knowledge and perceived power he believes he has.

Remember he is currently the President of the Sedona Lodging Council which is a partner with the Sedona (Regional) Chamber of Commerce and in that position continued to tell the Council..”Just Trust Me, Just TRUST Me” when it came to the City giving more and more money to the chamber and lodging folks . Here are the latest “pearls” from Mr. Steve himself:

From: Steve Segner

“Everyone,

Apparently several people got a hold of a “private” email from me that I had sent to a few friends and posted it on a local news website. It is now making the rounds with the naysayers who love to bash Sedona. In the email, I was stating my desire to see a more creative and direct information campaign in the mayoral election. I just do not think Cliff Hamilton is the right person to be our mayor.
I stated I was in favor of what is called “Guerrilla Marketing” .. A creative way in getting a message to people.. Read about it here: http://www.gmarketing.com

(……..here is where I – Flatlander – Deciding to take a walk on the wild side, I went to the aforementioned “Guerrilla Marketing” web site as referenced by Steve Segner and read the following:

” This alternative advertising style relies heavily on unconventional marketing strategy, high energy and and imagination. It does appear that to Steve Segner that facts don’t matter. Need I say more about the credibility of Mr. Segner, his ethics and integrity? Anyone he supports and any concept he try’s to parlay will become automatic NO Votes for me! I vote NO on Sandy M and on Home Rule which are his two biggie’s.)

(back to Mr Segner’s words) —–

“So, since some are intent on using my personal email to their advantage, here is one to deliberately pass along… but I bet they don’t pass it on. But you can!

I donate hundreds of hours to help any organization that asks for marketing help, I guess no good deed goes UN punished

Fellow Sedonans…we are at a cross roads.

Do we elect as mayor the person that was the leader in killing the Arts Commission, a leader and funder of the effort for Sedona to take ownership of 89A (where over 71% of Sedona was against it), was against the night sky protecting street lighting now installed on 89A, and in general seems to be unfriendly to the art, business and tourism community.

This letter, and an ad from me, is in this Friday’s Red Rock News… please pass it around and get out and vote,

(The great news is that while Segner believes he is the great OZ – that bubble was busted and he has no curtain to stand behind any longer as he declared himself a Guerrilla Marketer.)

Please read on to see his ad in the red rock news:

Fellow Sedonans,
In the last few weeks I have received numerous phone calls and emails asking, “Who Are you going to vote for in the Sedona mayoral race?”On the surface, this is not an easy question to answer. Both candidates, Sandy Moriarty And Cliff Hamilton are past council members and are well respected in Sedona. When I spoke with Cliff several weeks ago, I asked him about the possible installation Of parking meters in Uptown as part of the comprehensive solution to it’s traffic Problems and he commented “I will follow the wishes of the merchants!”
I asked what about the other 8,000 people in town? “Don’t their needs and votes also Count? !But he says he would follow the wishes of the people involved. I can respect his opinion, even if I do not agree. Since then, I have done a little research and found out that Cliff was a leader in the Campaign and effort for Sedona to “Take over ownership of State Route 89A from ADOT.” He actually wanted the city to take ownership and financial responsibility for 89A. That is ok, too!. He has every right to push his own agenda, except he was on the Loosing side of this issue. Over 70% of Sedona said “NO!” Sedona did not want to own And maintain an expensive state highway. So much for listening to and being in tune with the “will of the people.”Sandy is a long time, 42 year resident of Sedona. She was one of our initial council Persons when we incorporated in 1988. I have found Sandy to be a good listener and A fair-minded team player. Sandy fought the efforts of Hamilton and others to take ownership of State Route 89A And stood with majority of the voters in Sedona who agreed with her.!So that is my answer, it’s “Sandy for Mayor!” !Your Neighbor, Steve Segner!

This Flatlander doesn’t think there is much more to say on the merits of Mr. Segner and his rants and his brotherhood with the Chamber and certain people he wants to bully to get elected.

What do you mean by the 250% increase? Is that 250% more visitors?

If they do not sell the rooms no sales tax or bed tax (in the city they have both) is collected. Only on items sold.

Thanks for clarifying.
