    It was in this role as director of investment ready communities that Spangler managed over $350 million of publically funded projects.

      I’m sure Molly is a nice person, competent in what she does. But this post is completely unnecessary and squanders City funds. Economic diversity is a joke in Sedona. The one and only industry is tourism. Previous hopes had been that Sedona could become a mini-Silicon Valley. But that ain’t going to happen. Efforts to transform Sedona into something is not is a waste of time and money. If you think, the City can transform the economy here; just look at its efforts to manage traffic or complete the storm drainage project that’s been going on for a decade. Or how it pours money into the Parks and Recreation programs when the average age of us residents is 57. I don’t know where the City has its finger, but it surely isn’t on the pulse of the community.

      Well said Henry, well said.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
