Miracles do happen! Thank you, thank you, West sedona resident for continuing to be a fan of Sedona Eye and, especially, picking up on this 2013 letter as the revamping of SE is progressing.

But even more so, this gives me the opportunity to again express appreciation to both former Councilman Jim Eaton for his letter to the Red Rock News Editor, Christopher Fox Graham, and thank him for having published it. The same goes to the Publisher/Editor of Sedona Eye to find it worthy enough to share input from our local printed newspaper. Both displayed, IMO, a touch of class for being fair minded and unbiased.

Mr. Eaton’s message remains as valid today as it did on 8/2/13 when it originally appeared in the Red Rock News.

Thanks for posting that letter from 2013

Looking at the letter and the comments from the same old complaining cast of characters…

It appears in 2017 nothing has changed. The same cast still complain about everything government and DO NOTHING…including the letter writer…

The beat goes on and on ad naseum

Well said, Mrs. Rodger Thomas. However, how many fine editors at the RRNews have been dismissed or moved to other arenas because they wouldn’t follow the rules as written by the man in charge, Publisher Robert B. Larson? (Gregg Ruland for example) Is it just by coincidence the Chamber of Commerce is so favorably high profile in that publication? Could it be because the Chamber CEO’s husband, Rick Wesselhoff, is listed as one of the partner’s of the online edition? (listed at bottom of RRN home page)

In all fairness, Mrs. Thomas, I will join you in wishing the best of luck and success to Christopher Fox Graham.

James:

Over the years I have publicly stated on this very web site that in the Verde Valley, there is no better news medium for unbiased information then SedonaEye.com and I’m proud to say that I read it several times a day.

As for Mr. Graham, we all know that his employer is VERY biased. Once he took over from his mother, who I thought was a nice person, it’s gone downhill ever since.

My point is that for Mr. Graham, as the NEW Managing Editor to stick his neck out and speak the truth was a big step in this town. I’m just hoping that this is a first step of many and that HOPEFULLY this will be a new turning point for the Larsons. Will I really step up and kick in a few bucks to renew my long ago expired subscription to the RRN, if this is a new beginning, I may. Certainly the RRN will never be a SedonaEye.com but then again, there’s not many that can be THAT good.

While both RRNews and Sedona Biz remain selective in publishing comments they receive, here we have Sedona Eye who willingly posts a comment from Mrs. Rodger Thomas actually praising Christopher Fox Graham on an editorial he wrote and saying she’s considering renewing her subscription to the publication he represents. Don’t hold your breath waiting for either RRN or Biz to acknowledge kudos in any way, shape, or form to their competition. Point being? Figure it out.

Whoever that person was who said everything on Sedona Eye is negative needs to get a life. Once I started reading through some of these articles, references, and especially comments, it was a trip to a different sort of place. Even disagreements became fun with ongoing bantering. Serious issues? Of course. However a reminder to lighten up now and then might be the one thing worth earnest consideration by those most critical of this publication.

Commend this site because we’ve finally been given an outlet for the frustration of gazillions of years of that perverse print rag pablum us.

Graham? Somebody told him that the Eye was kicking his body parts & he took aim at the mayor of sedona. that’s not journalism. that’s easy street.

does anybody know when the chamber music schedule is? it’s not posted here & we check this site most days? guess it’s not going on this year..

I would like to commend Mr. Christopher Fox Graham on his recent editorial concerning the childish behavior of the Sedona Mayor, Rob Adams. Mr. Graham, I stopped being a yearly subscriber to the RRN a few years ago, getting tired of the same old “life is good” watered down paper that the former editor was letting past her desk. Now that I have heard about your honest “take no prisoners” type of writing, I’ll be subscribing once again because I can’t wait to see more of your editorials.

@quote of the decade:

Members of Sedona City Council, pay attention. Substitute “Sedona” for “America” in a couple of places as in:

“Sedona has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Sedonans deserve better.”

Get it?

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
