same person? what arrogance. how can you have an opinion with cretins? democracy in the city of sedona will not have a chance with special interests drowning all others out with threats and name calling and money thrown away on elections that can wait to let the system work as it should. what do the young people think of sedona grownups? not much is my guess.

You call it disinformation…I was taught it was lying. Yes lying. Some seem to think that lying is ok if it furthers your agenda.

The ‘mantra’ of the left is “the end justifies the means”. The means would include lying, cheating, stealing and double-dealing.

The people who submit comments using other than their name to identify themselves are the liars. Pretty stupid, eh? Why bother? We don’t believe a word you say. You have no credibility and really don’t deserve a response.
You hide behind your acronyms because you are afraid the light of day will reveal you as the sneaky people who are always around ready to ‘stir the pot’.

I would venture a guess that these people are on the government (city) gravy train and want to keep the folks who’s taxes pay for their cushy jobs from seeing the truth. What’s the truth here? Why the push for the takeover? Who’s going to make a killing on the maintenance and redesign of west Sedona’s 89A?

The same people are against shining a light on the SFD budget. Ever wonder why?

One of the arguments made for incorporating back in 1988 was that we would be free from the two counties who governed Sedona and we would thus be in control of our future development and not the counties will. Well, it’s been 22+ years…are you pleased with our ‘control’ over the development of west Sedona? Of the multiple redevelopments of “Uptown” (where most of the money went) because, after all, “the tourist is where Sedona gets its capital”.

Is this what we thought we were getting when we were asked to vote for incorporation? Be sure that the city has the residents best interest in mind this time before you run out and vote for such a huge undertaking. The ‘staff’ has already indicated that they think a ‘median’ down the entire 89A would be an improvement. You think so? Ask the merchants if they think so.

My opinion is that it would kill businesses along 89A and not do a single thing to prevent deaths from idiots trying to run across the highway to get to the other side.

I ask that we all think before we act this time. Don’t you think that is a reasonable request? I hope so.

Not surprised by all of the nastiness by George, Bob and “Voter” most likely the same person.

We voted for this Council as we believed their pledge to follow the “Will of the People” and now they tell us if we do not like their dictatorship we can take a bus out of town for good.

Please remember to thank Mayor Adams, councilors Dinunzio and McElroy as they have kept their commitment to follow the “will of the people” and they DO support the Referendum. On the other hand, Litrell states she supports the Referendum then does all she can to spread misinformation about ownership of Hwy 89-A. The biggest lie of all is that ADOT will dump the road on Sedona if we delay and allow the Referendum to proceed. Litrel knows very well this is not true, why all of the disinformation by an elected official?

I’m really confused as to why some have a problem with a true means of letting the people have a voice – through their right to vote ? isn’t an election on a specific issue called a true measure of the pulse and wishes of our community? So – how about we let the referendum and Initiative process go forward without all the waaaa waaaa comments and false statements – like ADOT did not provide dark sky lights in their option to the city – that this should be where unelected people roll up their carpets…etc.

Somehow I continue to find the need to ask everyone to remember that this is not the political issue some council members and some public members would like to transfer it into…. this is only about a very large portion of our community who do not agree with buying – or being “gifted” a road that we do not want to own and feel we can not afford.

On the other hand – do like the comment that those of us who do not want to pay for the turn back should be first in line for the bus tickets….didn’t know a bus that size – that will hold all of us – makes a regular stop into our town. Bottom line is simple: People have a right to their given rights by our Constitution…and, even though you may not like it ….that is what is happening…you have a problem with that? Can’t understand why. Let’s stick with facts vs fear and intimidation.

Hmmm . . . has the line for a one-way ticket out of Sedona started forming yet? Will places in line be reserved for those who take a moment to go and vote “yea” or “nay” on the route transfer?

To Bob and Sedona Voters:
Why all the whining? A vote of the people . . . ALL of the people, is the only logical and fair way to proceed with this divisive issue. Providing both sides an opportunity to legitimately voice their opinions will result in a concise, accurate, and positive solution to a fiasco that should never have happened in the first place had the newly elected city council members, with the exception of Dan McIlroy and re-elected Mayor Adams, been up front about their intention to dump the responsibility of a State Route onto the Sedona voting residents. Money for a special election will be well spent, same as the professional poll which reflected the true will of the people but was subsequently ignored by the four members of the city council who voted their own opinions instead of doing what it was they were elected to do . . . represent the preference of the majority of the people.
