Sedona City Councilor Barbara Litrell Sedona AZ–I voted in favor of the route transfer of 89A in West Sedona after 4 years of involvement  with the issue of 89A safety and ADOT’s proposed solution of continuous roadway lighting. It was one of the issues that motivated me to run for City Council. When ADOT proposed 76 lights in June 2007, the community was aghast at the idea of continuous roadway...

Eddie S. Maddock Sedona AZ (March 2 2011)-In their infinite wisdom, four out of seven members of the Sedona City Council decided who will own the remaining portion of Arizona State Route 89A within Sedona City Limits. With the conclusion of that monumental decision, how will they now spend their time? Perhaps, since they have deemed themselves experts on the subject of designing and implementing State...

Mike Ward I have received many emails regarding my vote on the SR 89A transfer issue.  I appreciate that some of you were disappointed that your point of view regarding the transfer of SR 89A did not prevail with the Council. I assure you that I did not take this decision lightly.  There were many compelling arguments on each side of the issue and a few that were completely ungrounded.  There were...

The National Council on Public Polls distributed to conscientious journalists nationwide a set of reporting standards relative to how to report public surveys, which is entitled: “20 Questions A Journalist Should Ask About Poll Results”  by Sheldon R.

        Sedona may end up owning SR89A irrespective of Sedona City Council’s vote. Sedona has virtually no bargaining chips left.           Recently there have been published in Sedona many riveting commentaries regarding the SR89A turn-back to this City. Nevertheless, I’ve seen no discussion of the legal ramifications of A.R.S. §28-7209’s impact on Council’s pending...

My friends and I arrived for two nights from the Phoenix airport (on our way to Vegas for three days) and found that our favorite health food restaurant is closed. We did eat at the health food grocery store which had a food counter that was adequate in a pinch (we refuse to eat at fast food chains). Crystal Palace Gift Shop was closed (a shocker since it seemed to have been open for years and... 

In a 2010 Verde Independent news article Sheriff Steve Waugh was expressing his dilemma regarding what to do if Proposition 100 failed and how would fund his prison population. Jan Brewer is also counting on Proposition 100 for funds. Is what’s good for the goose, good for the gander? In Folksville USA, we have a anti-litter movement to “restore the beauty to America the Beautiful”. We don’t...
