Had me laughing Justin then saw your humor masked truth. You should be running for office. But you likely don’t want to corral with those horses.

If that’s the head count JJ, SCC missed a stellar opportunity to get out from under a sinking ship. Gotta love the Californians, they hated paying taxes & living there but are damned to screw it up here to replicate it. Follow closely:

Aspiring senator Lefevre flew off to Italy to get out from her hoopah of stupidity & having to register a vote, not wanting this 80% negative voter recognition on her future record; be careful Angela when you jump on a wagon like Tom’s, his wagon’s always got a broken wheel that falls apart somewhere down the road. Italy gave LeFevre saving face & Moriarty threw her under the bus. See it? Get it? Moriarty knows the monument is a bad deal & wants LeFevre to tote the water as this debacle is hers.

Paying attention SCC? Jump off the 80% negatives bandwagon Jablow & Dinunzio & indicate you will be voting no with Martinez. Don’t wait because you will then leave Moriarty covered in horse manure or it’s going to be one of you. Do you get it or see it yet? Make Moriarty take the swing because if she votes yes, you win. If she votes, no, you win. Good grief what does it take to get a political genius or two around here.

For those unable to connect the dots, there were 6 council members at the last city council meeting = 3 in opposition, 3 in favor. Mayor wanted Angela LeFevre there to break the tie to have a 4-3 majority for the National Monument. Big duh.

There are many stunning revelations within the context of the above report. The never-ending imposition of the Sedona City Council to take charge and represent the entire Verde Valley seems to always be center theme. Could this be a result of the strong-arm tactics of the extensively city financed “regional” Chamber of Commerce? Maybe time for payback for all the advertising members receive outside the city council’s jurisdiction but at the expensive of city based, city tax collecting businesses?

And now the new precedent of allowing issues to be tabled if a council member is absent? So why should Angela LeFevre be treated differently than other council members when she is off on a vacation? Maybe it would be a good thing, though, if all decisions required the attendance of the entire seven-member council. That would impede progress(?) and maybe nothing would get done, which might be better for all of us.

Then we come to Keep Sedona Beautiful. What in the world has happened to a respectable group that was originated to offer non-toxic solutions to the preservation of the beauty of Sedona? Has it been infiltrated by politicians only interested in their mission to divide and conquer no matter what the cost? Foolish question.

Wake up true dedicated supporters of KSB. Demand for that once respected organization to cease and desist with the strong arm approach. Otherwise the legacy you will leave isn’t at all what those who faithfully pledged endowments for your continuation. You go ahead and file the NM proclamation without substantial support of the entire Verde Valley (and that does not mean Sedona City Council) and your organization will be toast. Is it really worth it?

If v_v wants protection (see map) let residents in that area and the owners or county supervisors call to reach out to their public. Keep out of the valley, Sedona & KSB. You’re unwanted.

Superb documentation from start to finish, Mr. Reyburn. Nothing like a comprehensive presentation of facts to set the record straight. Thank you very much for your time and effort. If this doesn’t make an impact on the Sedona City Council (notice the “Sedona” versus “regional” council) then what will? They have clearly overstepped with their blatant plan to manipulate the system during the past couple of years. That seems to have become their sole mission – to suppress those who dare question let alone vocally object to their action.

They have now been royally exposed. Great job.
