    logo_olli2Sedona AZ (January 23, 2016) – The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of Yavapai College presents National Issues Forums – a program that is free and open to the public.  The program begins on January 27th at 2:30pm in room 34 of the Yavapai College Sedona Center.

    National Issues Forums (NIF) is a nonpartisan, nationwide network of locally sponsored public forums for the consideration of public policy issues. It is rooted in the simple notion that people need to come together to reason and talk—to deliberate about common problems. These forums, organized by a variety of organizations, groups, and individuals, offer citizens the opportunity to join together to deliberate, to make choices with others about ways to approach difficult issues and to work toward creating reasoned public judgment.

    photo_andreahouchardAndrea Houchard will conduct four NIF forums on issues that have to do with our national economy:

    • America’s Future: What Should Our Budget Priorities Be? (January 27)
    • Social Security: How Can We Afford It? (February 3)
    • Health Care Costs? (February 10)
    • Economic Security (February 17)

    Community members are invited to come together to voice their views about these critical economic issues, and to learn what others in Sedona and surrounding communities think. Informational handouts about each of these issues will be available on the Philosophy in the Public Interest website one week prior to the forum at www.nau.edu/ppi.

    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.
