					<description><![CDATA[Thank you Jim for speaking up and using your real name! That means a lot.

					<description><![CDATA[@Joy, This is a great letter! I have been a Sedona resident since 2001 and  a business owner  since 2004. My business has always been in Sedona city limits.  I too am a former member of the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, and I can totally appreciate your frustrations. After being a member for over three years, giving the chamber over $10,000 if raffle prizes, and utilizing the my membership to it&#039;s fullest; I cancelled my membership realizing that in three years time I did not get one single booked tour from a referral from the Uptown Visitor&#039;s Center. Having had meetings with everyone from Jennifer to David to Kegn to Michelle; I spoke to everyone there. 

And although they claim to promote Sedona businesses, as a Sedona business, I felt very little support. Even when my business was going through some serious trials and tribulations with corruption with other government agencies that govern what I do, the chamber of commerce choose to ignore my concerns. Interesting no matter how much effort I put into working with the chamber and using their marketing tools, the results were the same, no results.

I would urge any new business considering joining the Sedona chamber to reconsider. I am all about supporting local businesses, shopping locally, eating organically, and being a responsible, conscious, and moral individual. The Sedona chamber may support some businesses, but it surely was not mine.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ Mrs Roger Thomas I don&#039;t see any &quot; venom around town&quot; except yours. Maybe you have some personal issues to work through.

					<description><![CDATA[Sharlett:

I know without a doubt that Richard Saunders is in fact Tony Tonsich and as proof, sent him and his wife JuliAnna proof that I know who they are and where they live. 

I believe that everyone is entitled to their freedom of speech, even if it’s Tony’s or Richard.  Because Tony or Richard have a continued voicing his venom around town, I think that people around town should know who they’re dealing with before they “sign on” with his crusade. 

As for where I live, I live in the City of Sedona. Not far from Richard Saunders.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[how do we know that &quot;Mrs. Roger Thomas&quot; isn&#039;t a member of city staff? disincorporation would mean bye-bye to all city jobs and related benefits. hmm . . . another good reason to give this new concept a closer look?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mrs Roger Thomas - yet again you spew incorrect information.  This time you try, again, to tag a name to someone you &quot;assume&quot; (without any verification) to be a pseudonym and only for your personal purposes.  

Someone asked if Mrs Roger Thomas lives in the City?  Hell No!  She lives in the VOC and I guess She  has some self vested feeling that she is a part of Sedona and can vote -  without being registered -  or can sway those of us who actually are registered.   Again, Hell No!

Jennifer says: &quot; stop with the disincorporation posts by saunders&quot;.  Does Jennifer not understand Freedom of Speech?  I personally like his posts as he&#039;s getting people to think.............a rare commodity in many areas of Sedona. 

Yet I just had a crazy concept run through my mind: could it be that &quot;Jennifer&quot; is actually our &quot;missy Jennifer&quot; and of course she would not want any thoughts about disincorporation because her bank account would dry up and she actually might have to hit the streets looking for money to her &quot;regional&quot; chamber!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Too bad &quot;missy&quot; Jennifer can&#039;t be changed to &quot;gone missing&quot; like so many used-to-be Sedona businesses. And now &quot;gone missing&quot; Jennifer (wishful thinking) is willing to sacrifice chamber member dues to the tourism bureau to represent in-town businesses? Isn&#039;t that even more costly than being a member of her beloved chamber?  Not to mention tourism bureau, same as lodging council, is all part of the chamber of commerce. Such a deal.

					<description><![CDATA[Donna - You article is very impressive and gutsy and thank you for speaking the truth!

Great response Eddie!  

In my professional life of running a business where our web-site is a large portion of the business and I&#039;ve been involved with developing new web-sites - and gotta tell you that there was one web-site I paid maybe $8,000.00 and it was very involved.  Another one cost me maybe $12,000.00 that was even more involved and detailed.  

There is no way a web site will cost $120,000.00 unless the Feds are paying for it.  (or someone is just dumber than .............)

OMG people - this &quot;Regional&quot; Chamber is so far out of control and only Jennifer Wessoloff -leader of the Chamber,  knows what she is doing and how she spins the facts.    

Even the Council and Staff haven&#039;t caught with her yet ---- do we need to rename Jennifer &quot;the Pied Piper&quot; who is misleading the pack of our supposedly &quot;impartial&quot; Council who is supposed to have the residents best interests in their forefront?  HA HA - Ya really think that will happen????

How far out of control will everything need get?  When does Missy Jennifer stop begging, bragging and contorting herself and the job she &quot;loves&quot; ? I&#039;d love it too if I were in her Dorothy shoes.  This, contrary to her beliefs, isn&#039;t OZ!  It is a very small town of under 10,000 people....and she continues to get a disproportionate amount of money.  

When does Missy Jennifer stop the begging and asking for funds for her &quot;loved&quot; job and starts running her Non-Profit &quot;business&quot; on its own merits?  That concept allows the City to start reinvesting back to basic residents&#039; needs?  

When do we stop throwing money down the Chambers hole and start fixing our streets and drainage  issues?]]></description>
