    1. VOTE NO on $49.5 million Home Rule budget, including $149,000 budget for a “sustainability” czar.
    2. VOTE YES on $36 million Permanent Base Adjustment (PBA), with NO CUTS for city services nor support to non-profits.
    3. STOP “giving” $2.5 million to the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, a private business financed with taxpayers’ money
    4. FORGET the $30 million for Sedona in Motion (SIM), have the traffic experts, not the city manager, tell us what to include
    5. WAIT for recommendations by civil engineering firms and the public works engineers to decide how to reduce traffic congestion.

    No Home Rule

    Home Rule allows the city government, Staff with limitations, and Council to spend any money they have on any project they want without regard to voter input.
