    Verde Valley AZ (January 19, 2015) – On February 7, 2015, the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley is celebrating the idea of a nonpartisan civic organization to provide the education and the experience the public needs to assure the success of democracy – The League of Women Voters! With passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920 that gave women the right to vote, the League of Women Voters was formed with the thought that women needed enlightenment and encouragement to vote.

    Immediately, the League of Women Voters became involved with a number of significant issues such as Child Labor laws, the Reclassification of Federal Civil Service, the Filled Milk Bill and Appropriations for the War, Navy, Commerce and Labor Departments. These were hardly just “women’s issues” – these were issues for all! For 95 years, the League of Women Voters has worked to ensure our democracy is transparent, effective, and truly representative. Those challenges are as real today as they were for our suffragist foremothers who struggled for their right to vote so many years ago.

    As the League of Women Voters celebrates our 95th Birthday, we want to look forward to the opportunities and challenges ahead in our community – the Verde Valley. County Supervisors from Yavapai and Coconino Counties – Chip Davis, Tom Thurman and Matt Ryan are coming together to talk about the Verde Valley they see in the next 5 to 10 years.

    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.
