The republicans have been in the drivers seat and things have only gotten worse. The biggest problem is the big money in politics. Unregulated super pacs. Republican majorities.
248 House Seats out of 400
54 out of 100 Senate seats
31 out of 50 Governors
70 out of 99 Legislative Chambers
5 out of 9 Supreme Court justices- Before the death of Anthony Scalia
Tax and spend is the rule of thumb. The City of Sedona is no exception. These City Councilors have all but destroyed Sedona. Jessica Williams is in need of mental help. John Thompson needs mental help. John Martinez admits the City spends more than it takes in. Thus the reason for the trash takeover. And bed tax. More revenue for the city. Never heard of cutting spending. Tom Lamkin is a yes man. Sandy Moriarty is in need of mental help. No better than Rob Adams. Very destructive and very sick. The city gifts over 3 million dollars of unregulated dollars to special interest groups. 2.2 million to the sedona chamber of commerce. The town of sedona is shrinking with a population of 9000. This is insanity. The lies go on and on. Where are the RFPs promised? Where are the audits promised? No City gifts millions of dollars to their chamber of commerce,even Scottsdale. In direct violation of senate bill 1487 the Sedona city council made it a law that the Chamber of commerce receives annually over 2 million dollars of unregulated public money. All of lodging did not get a vote.Some in the industry did not even know this was even on the table.This was a well planned out scam. People were strong armed into going along with it for fear of being black balled by the Steve Segner, lodging council, and the chamber of commerce.
Write City Council and tell them to change the council meetings times back to the evenings so everyone can participate,even the working people. This change was a systematic way of gaining control of our city. Let them know you have had enough.

I for one will only be voting for the new people running for City Council. The premise that voting for incumbents because one is more destructive than another is ludicrous. Sick and tired of being lied to. SB 1487 will cut off funding from the state. Everyone should write to Senator Allen and let her know of the violations occurring in Sedona. Some are even criminal.

Oh my goodness – where to begin? First let it be of record that my voter registration card states very clearly at the party identification affiliation: NONE. Translated that means not a Democratic, not a Republican, and not an Independent.

Agreeing with Dan’s comment, I must add the one thing missing from all the “love, gratitude, and devotion” is the most popular trend among the chosen few:

POLITICALLY CORRECT.

How in the Spiritual Being’s world did we all survive without this profound educational revelation?

Superb writing, indeed, and cannot wait for the reaction from the worldly contributions of devoted followers on the Sedona Eye.

Don’t like Democrats bashing their my candidates, I hear many saying they’ll vote for Trump and it’s disturbing.

@ Paul Heiselman,

Paul, after “the greatest generation” has come “the scorched earth generation.” In his best-selling book “The Greatest Generation,” Tom Brokaw profiled Baby Boomers’ parents’ generation, which he described as “American citizen heroes, who came of age during The Great Depression and World War Two … united by common values – duty, honor, economy, courage, service, love of family and country.” In their youth, Boomers, who were born between the mid-1940s and the mid 1960s, stated loudly that they wanted to be nothing like their parents before them. And, they succeeded! Why? Because of the blow-back from the current indoctrinated “entitled” generations they’ve produced…entitled, without having sacrificed anything for our country, to government taxpayer paid welfare benefits, to a guaranteed high-paying career while having no experience, to low-cost or no-cost housing, and to a useless debt-financed progressive liberal education curriculum as well as the right to scream about every conceivable micro-aggression they believe they’ve had to endure as as result of every violation imaginable of their own self-defined political correctness agenda. Yes, this is the majority of the U.S. electorate today and this malady widely infects and paralyzes both political parties!

Based upon all these precepts, most of you will vote for a Presidential candidate while actually believing that you have a choice.

These comments will be used in an upcoming article here at The Eye.
