Has anything further happened with regard to the ILX seven acre property on Brewer Road that Eddie Maddock thought should become city property. I agree completely with her–although I live in VOC, not Sedona. But Sedona does need a “center.” It also needs a walkway along the creek from Tlaquepaque to uptown. In general, Oak Creek should be integrated into the life of Sedona far more than it is.

Of all the faces of betrayal is there a worse one than lying by omission? Were the candidates endorsed by Responsive Sedona Leadership 2010, with the exception of Rob Adams and Dan McIlroy who upheld the pledge to reflect the will of the people, up front with that organized group in telling them their goal was to take back a State Highway in order to avoid the continuous lighting no matter what the cost? I think not. Of course, they wouldn’t have been elected if they had admitted their intentions. That has been proven by the response to the Referendum. Read the signatures Oh Mighty Four. Oh no, that might pop your bubble and disintegrate your halos.

there are three kinds of lies, said mark twain: lies, more lies and statistics

Nate, this “referendum” and “initiative” actually are about the citizens, who are the empowered (non neutered) and ultimatly have the final say… or so says our constitution. And from what I have seen – the citzens are not happy. Yep, there was an election – yet our abillity to challange and counter major policy decissions is just what “Let The People Vote on 89A”, and it’s supporters, stand for. Just because a person is elected does not mean there are no checks and balances to their votes….the citizens retain the lofty and constitutional rights to question and take necessary actions. Please remember that as a citizen – you are never “unempowered” and the elected are never above question.

Nate nailed it. After being in power for over a decade these people are freaking out. They cant stand allowing people who represent over 60 percent of the voters (per the last election) represent the community legitimately. Power, or lack of it, brings out the worst in people.

Hi Nate:

Don’t know whether or not this is appropriate but FYI it’s a fact that I contributed financially to the Responsive Sedona Leadership 2010 and the candidates they endorsed at the last election.Therefore, it stands to reason I also voted for them . . . all five!

If you don’t believe me, public records are available at the office of the Sedona City Clerk.

Therefore, to express my disappointment at this turn of events within less than one year’s time is impossible.

Regretfully,

Eddie Maddock

you write well but unsure that this “referendum” is in pursuit of such lofty ideals when this “referendum” seems to be about the unempowered neutering the empowered of the last election
