Sedona and the Verde Valley needs its own lobbyists to educate legislators at the Arizona Capitol and in Washington, D.C., about the peculiar needs of our area. We have unique interests in our area that other areas of the state don’t have. We also need federal roads to help carry millions of tourists to our area each year. We have a special interest in conserving the water that makes life possible in the desert, especially the Verde River and the potential draining of it by special interests in the Prescott area. We have a special interest in preserving the beauty of our magical and mystical beauty that surrounds us and help in making it available to all Americans to enjoy. I would like to see a concerted effort by the Sedona City Council, the Town Council of Camp Verde and the Cottonwood City Council to work together to get a plan in motion that will help protect our area, get us the services we need and improve
