    Sedona AZ (February 15, 2019) – The League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley (LWVGVV) Hot Topics Luncheon will feature a discussion on voting rights with special guests Leslie Hoffman, Yavapai County Recorder and Patty Hansen, Coconino County Recorder. The luncheon will be held on Thursday, February 28, at 11:30 AM at the Elks Lodge of Sedona, 110 Airport Road, Sedona.

    “There have been several bills introduced in this year’s legislative session that would impact voters,” said Kathy Kinsella, President of the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley.   “County Recorders are charged with ensuring citizens’ right to vote. Ms. Hoffman and Ms. Hansen both have solid records of protecting voting rights. We are pleased that will join us to discuss various bills in the legislature and their own efforts to protect voter access and the integrity of the electoral process.”

    Voting policies are enacted and enforced primarily at the state level, however County Recorders are responsible for election systems in their respective counties.  Bills that have been introduced in this year’s state legislature include changes to procedures for those on the permanent early voter list that would no longer allow for in person drop off ballots (SB1046), removing voters from registration rolls if they fail to vote is two successive election cycles (SB1188), and a bill that would provide for automatic voter registration when applying for or changing a driver license (SB1521.)

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
