By Gene Lemmon(August 12, 2014) Thank you for your ethics in this current city election campaign and for not accepting or allowing negative and attack ads or stories. I was shocked and disappointed to see the letter attacking the man running for Sedona mayor in the Red Rock News. This is especially so after the “News” just ran an editorial touting how they don’t approve of negative campaigning and advertising. Sedona is a better place and the people here are better than to condone or approve of this kind of political attack, regardless of the person or the issue.
