    I don’t envy other people’s money. 

    I want people to be prosperous. 

    But this is ridiculous!

    According to the Arizona Republic newspaper, APS CEO Don Brandt’s pay is $19,453,434 per year. 

    That works out to $53,297.08 per day, every day of the year, weekends and holidays included. That one day’s pay is more than the median yearly Arizona household income of $51,899.

    I remember being outraged when Brandt’s yearly pay was “just” $11.5 million back in 2012.

    Something is very, very wrong when the CEO of a (supposedly regulated) public utility monopoly with captive customers gets paid more than almost anyone else in the state.

    Here’s the Arizona Republic’s comparison of 47 Arizona executives’ pay: http://arizonarepublic.az.newsmemory.com/publink.php?shareid=14114545c  Brandt is listed under Pinnacle West, the APS parent company.

    No wonder APS wants a rate increase.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
