You at KSB do not have a grassroots effort or a coalition except of a handful of selfish environmentalists with an agenda and a Sedona city councilor. Barbara Litrell, what do you say and why? Weekly discussions, 4500 signing in favor of the national monument, coalitions? Not truthful except by omission because most of your signers are NOT FROM THIS AREA, you collected signatures from TOURISTS that don’t know squat. I like you, but by omission fail you and others are not being fully truthful. A tarnish to your reputation. We are NOT out of a recession. Talk to local real estate companies, talk to portfolio managers that predict another great economic debacle soon. And stop trying to usurp local tribal authorities, WE don’t like it and we don’t agree with you!

Let’s agree it’s a bit hypocritical to want to stop development, but let’s agree that there is a saturation or build out point for every locale, even city centers and suburban communities, and mountains and deserts, and farms.

We protect our farmlands because we don’t have enough food to eat if we don’t; we protect our mountain streams because we don’t have enough fresh water if we don’t. We protect our cities because they have enough infrastructure, transportation and housing for multitudes who cannot produce and who only consume or service.

We protect Sedona why?

That’s absolutely true! The NM would absolutely ruin the COMMUNITY, but it’s always about the MONEY, isn’t it?

The NM is about preservation, not use.
The NM will destroy the city you live in.
