Pay attention Sedona media and Sedona city government. We’re sick of your social engineering and lies about Chamber funds. Just sayin.

I have met with some elected councilmen, served on a city committee, and here are some things I heard and or noticed:
*Councilpersons rely on the city employees for direction to a high degree. Personally I want to see a move towards councilors actually directing city employees priorities, which I feel is not the case though I expect someone to argue this. It is none the less my opinion based on some reasonable experiences with both the city and councilors.
*During the meeting with Community Development while in Citizens academy, I asked – have you projected the carrying capacity of city infrastructure and stress of community in terms of lodging size. In other words, how much lodging can Sedona handle? The answer: trout mouth. No was the answer. Many in the CA thought that was a good idea. About 2 years later and to my knowledge, there is no public assessment of that question still.

And separately – I am sure history show us that Business/ the pursuit of profit, will always go as far and make as much as possible generally regardless of consequences (to others). Government role should and I believe was intended in a democracy anyway, to represent to collective, the workers, and to set boundaries to prevent such happenings. However in America in 2018 I am seeing many many signs of failure in this regard. I believe Sedona is a sad example of this failure. Collective action by us the VOTING residences who are able to have compassion and think beyond ME/MINE only, are the only likely possibility of changing this mess. I believe businesses need boundaries, people living here need to find common ground, stop hating each other, and find common ground among those of us living here.
And yes business is good, we need businesses. But we need limits because we have limits here physically. I want
compassion and livability. Sedona is supposed to be a healing place, so let’s add a goal, heal not hate.

Who can state a fact or opinion without insulting someone else on this site. Let’s keep track.
