I’m a Democrat disgusted with political correctness and lack of integrity by our justice system. I sent this to your letters and it didn’t get approved and now I’m submitting it here.

In my opinion Ilhan Omar isn’t qualified to represent her district and is a liar. Let’s call her what she is, a religious zealot. Americans care less what her religion is or isn’t, but as a person she’s immoral and has violated her oath of office to serve in Congress. Impeach her, call for her resignation, toss her out if guilty. Until she can be an American and separate church and state and respect the laws of this country and work democratically to change them and not by getting in an office illegally and dishonestly and staying there because of spineless Democrats, Republicans and American justice system, she has to resign or be removed from office. If she hired lawyers to hide the fact she married her brother to get into this country? and paid for those lawyers with campaign funds? what’s next from her? If she’s guilty than she needs to be removed from office and a new election held for that district and she needs to face jail time and possibly deportation along with her brother and others who tried to defraud our process for her, including those who knew in Congress and did nothing. Her state needs to bring action against her now and let the process begin. The federal agency in charge of immigration needs to bring action against her now and let that process begin. Congress needs to begin hearings on her fitness to serve.

This isn’t about being female or religious. It’s about breaking laws the rest of Americans found illegal a long time ago.

Sedona new councils keep trying to reinvent the wheel of what makes Sedona Sedona. Not one has improved Sedona’s perfection. All have detracted from it.

We are very grateful we lived in Sedona when we did. We loved attending Jazz on the Rocks sitting on the grass in the designated area at the Posse Grounds. Also went to concerts held on the golf course at Poco Diablo. However along came the Cultural Park and at least for us a complete turn off. Why would Sedona take on something unnecessary when they already had good things going for them?

Then along came Cliff Castle Casino, a far more inviting facility for big time events. And little Sedona recklessly and without good reason thought an overbuilt and really ugly venue would succeed? A Hollywood Bowl competition? Unreal!

We do still reside in Northern Arizona and remain extremely happy we made our decision to relocate when we did. We do visit on occasion but it’s so changed we find it less attractive each time we visit former friends many of whom have also relocated. “Good for you” will most likely be the cry from the true “naysayers” on this site. But different strokes for different folks? So be it.

One final comment. After the completion of that new pavilion at the Posse Grounds we did take time to see what the rave was. Well, we are still wondering. Maybe once it’s completed we will have a more positive opinion. As it presently exists, however, we are reminded of a pre-fab housing development gone bad. Seriously.

Not a snide joke but an honest opinion based on our memories of the property when Jazz on the Rocks hosted fabulous events with a non-fancy performance area and happy attendees with their own low-profile folding chairs or just a blanket and picnic lunch. Same scenario of events at Poco. Happy memories, indeed.

We don’t need another performance venue. The city council debacle of the Barbara Antonsen amphitheater design and build was typical of city council decisions – poorly managed from conception to dedication. Burned through money without cause.
What city councils have done to this city since 2010 is appalling. I read reviews on Yelp about a Dahl Sedona restaurant yesterday that said good food but city and traffic not worth it any longer. THINK ABOUT THAT COMMENT. That the Sierra Club, KSB are hand in pocket of the development/business Chamber should be the resident’s worry -they used to be the check and balance for growth and development and now they’re conflict of interests joining with the axis of powers in Sedona.
Quality of life for residents is the job of the council, not quality of pleasure for guests.
One online review by a resident said “I don’t live and work here for the betterment of a drive by Chipotle eating and shot glass buying rock-gaping urbanite, I live and work here for myself because I tend the rocks and value the peace and quiet of my desert, just as that tourist loves and lives in their own hometowns.” Think about that and reflect on it. If you can’t reflect on its truer meaning, then its time for you to move to a newer reality.
