If you return an unanswered call, check your telephone bill. You may be getting charged for the return call because it’s a scam.

You missed listing the APS rate increase scam. My electric bills are now over 30% higher each month, this with LOWER power consumption than last year, and a warmer winter (I heat with natural gas) after the Corp Commission granted them the ability to rob us just a little bit more. I shouldn’t forget to mention the added fees just for reading my meter: “Metering”=$3.54, “Non-standard meter reading charge”=$5.00, “meter reading “=$2.45… so $10.99 of my bill is for the meter? This is all legalized theft.

Too funny …

All crying about taxes the small amount you pay.
You residents of Arizona require money from the federal government to make ends meets…..40 percent of the states budget comes from other states with surplus taxes.

So all here in AZ are takers and users…as far as tax money goes.
So please stop complaining about the minuscule ant of taxes you pay.

Or please stop utilizing taxes from other states to fill you budget gap…

@TonyT

I’m not buying that answer Tony Tonish The tax items you list aren’t worth all of that work. The question that @TonyT asked was to:

“please produce any official document that says that by voting to incorporate we would obtain more taxes from the state.”

I agree with that poster, all of what you wrote is OPINION not fact. Kindly produce the documents that show.

Those that pushed incorporation was after both city sales tax and state revenues.

So you are telling me the people promoting the city of Sedona did not know:

They would get some of the state Vehicle License fees?
Some money from the state collected as Library district, flood control district?
Sales tax collected on your cable bill, utility bill, water bill, and nearly everything you buy?

If they wanted to promote small town values they have failed.

So since you refuse to give your name and probably work for the city, why did they form a city? To give you a cushy job? I know how that’s how it turned out, but I don’t think that was a selling point.

Come on TonyT give it a rest. One of the biggest scams in this town is TonyT!

You push and push and push your personal opinions as fact when in reality what you say is strictly OPINION!

Your opinions-

City of Sedona Scam. You vote to have a city and the promoters say it will preserve small town values and obtain more taxes from the state.

TonyT please produce any official document that says that by voting to
incorporate we would obtain more taxes from the state.

IMO @Tony T, you scored at least a ten on your assessment of City of Sedona Scam. However, those in power have such a stronghold on local government that any efforts for changes will be dealt with using past guerrilla tactics, outside money, and whatever it take to defeat anyone who dares to go against them. It will take some crafty moves to make changes and are there enough to actually make it happen? Many people are fed up, complain, but sit complacently by and exert no effort to implement the changes you suggest. Very sad but true.
