The City is intending to raise WW rates illegally beginning July 1, 2018. Here’s some history of their process.

Sedona, AZ (March 24, 2018) It was simply amazing watching the youth of America on TV wake up during their million strong march in Washington D.C. There they were, our youth, across the country, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in solidarity, demonstrating their unified resistance to the scourge of gun violence in the schools they attend.

I’m talking about today’s “March For Our Lives” national demonstration.As a Baby Boomer, in my youth, we had a common cause, a common threat that unified…

By Ted Grussing… I was going through all of the February photos making final deletions, adding keywords before committing to closure of the month and the filing of February 2018, when I came across a shoot I did while running the ridge from Humphreys Peak to Agassiz … and back and then run it again. If you ever go down to Torrey Pines in SoCal you will see gliders, hang gliders and model airplanes doing the same thing.
