Cliff – I see you still have not picked up the phone and called Dick and Ernie, once again they will be very happy to set the record straight for you that Councilwomen Pud Colquitt and Nancy Scagnelli had nothing to do with Uptown turnback or the 1.7 million over-runs. I have listened and watched you and know your style is to “hit and run” over community members but we are all growing weary of your temper tantrums and misinformation.

Well, Cliff, to set you straight, I neither lobbied, negotiated nor voted to spend 1.7 million dollars in extra funds for the Uptown enhancement project while I was on council. Sorry, but you do have the facts wrong, AGAIN.

The question is not which council approved the turn back. That was the right decision. The question is who lobbied, negotiated and who voted to spend 1.7 million beyond to make up for that which was poorly negotiated. I agree Straugh and Ellis are honorable people. Pud and Nancy are culpible in the overrun. Not Straugh or Ellis. That was after their time. Research it. Get the facts instead of constant misinformation.

As usual Cliff is promoting his HATE agenda and is too lazy to pick up the phone and call Dick Ellis or Ernie Straugh and ask Dick and Ernie who researched and voted on the take back of HWY 89-A in uptown, they will both tell you it was their council not Pud Colquitt. They are both men of honor and have my respect.

I see Joe Blow is living up to his handle. Blowing misinformation around Sedona. The Council that approved the takeback, the Culquitt/Scagnelli Council, did not do their homework and went over budget by 135 percent, over 1.7 million dollars. This council voted to do the homework. With a capable City Manager, unlike Mr. Leavitt who was corrupt and incapable, we will have a chance to control our own destiny and do it in a financially responsible way. Either that or it won’t happen. Joe Blow is ignorant, as are the rest of us until we have the facts. He is more ignorant because he spews misinformation and takes a position before the facts are exposed. What’s worse that ignorant?

Thank You Mrs. Rayner for being responsible, doing Your research and bringing the facts to light. There are still people here in Sedona that are promoting Scare Tactics and Misinformation for the Old Council’s hidden agenda, and having just read Liz Smith’s article is a perfect example of such.

Thanks to the Hard Work and Transparency of Our New Council, We may again see the Sedona that We love.

Dick Ellis was Mayor and his council did all research and voted to take back 89-A in Uptown Sedona. Please Mrs. Rayner work with your husband and our city manager to find out the correct information on take back of 89-A in uptown before we make another huge financial mistake with the remainder of Hwy 89-A. We are counting on your husband to be our fiscally responsible council member and Save Sedona!

I guess Ms Rayner did not live in Sedona when the Dick Ellis council approved the Turnback
