Do you like seeing the views through your windshield? Negative for the residents - can't even get to the store.
Wonder what the TOURIST experience is? Will you return balance to our town?

Mayor Jablow, you have been voting in lock step with the majority of the city council creating a series of bad decisions for Sedona for YEARS. Now that you are mayor Mayor - will you lead or follow?
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING $105 MILLION BUDGET
Wasting over a $million in the 2023 budget to accomplish what - a feel good program? And at the same time inviting 4 million+ tourists to come visit us in their cars and tour busses? Climate changes - been doing that for 4.2 BILLION years. Will you continue this nonsense or shut it down?

The City of Sedona happily gave big raises and hired 14 more people...for what. We lost about 300 people in the last census. Jablow went along with spending more money and getting more people. Now that you are mayor, will you start being fiscally responsible?

$11 Million Parking garage, now $18 Million, and not started. Project is stopped. Will you stop wasting money and talk to the people before asking for consultants? We will see.

TAX AND SPEND SCOTT - THE NEW YORK WAY
The median age in Sedona is 60 years - so the next time you see the city putting in sidewalks that costs $100s of thousands, might ask "who for"? To walk the hills of Sedona to Safeway?
Will you stop the urbanization of Sedona?

TAX AND SPEND SCOTT - THE NEW YORK WAY
LET THE TOURISTS PAY - Mayor Jablow, , the citizens of Sedona are NOT tourists. The crazy spending programs YOU voted for, then made the .5% "temporary sales tax" PERMANENT hurt every Sedona Citizen. Residents last. Will you change?
$300,000 EVAC "Study"
8 years of jablow "leadership" 2014
$300,000 EVAC "Study"
Scott Jablow and the Sitting Lame Duck Council just approved a evacuation study, for Uptown and other areas of Sedona. We have 2 ROADS and cops. It is not that tough. Copy what other cities do.
Will you start taking responsibility and do the work or keep hiring expensive consultants for common sense projects?

April 29th an unstable person at a local church on the south side of Sedona was threatening another tourist with the threat of having a concealed firearm. Not something you want to take lightly. A 911 call was made reporting the situation, 30 MINUTES later an officer arrived.
1: NOT enough cops for 9700 residents , 4 MILLION tourists

April 29th an unstable person at a local church on the south side of Sedona was threatening another tourist with the threat of having a concealed firearm. Not something you want to take lightly. A 911 call was made reporting the situation, 30 MINUTES later an officer arrived.
1: NOT enough cops for 9700 residents , 4 MILLION tourists
2: They can't live in Sedona due to inadequate pay.
But we can drop $100s of thousands on Climate Action and Sustainability People. Mr. Mayor - will you get your priorities right?

Is Sedona a dying city? Numbers do not lie - Our leadership is not focusing on the citizens.
Scott Jablow - historical
SCOTT JABLOW, Enough is Enough - As mayor, will you change?
So far - 8 years of Scott Jablow has brought...
Budget, city staffing, STRs and traffic sky-rocketed. The population, number of schools and businesses shrunk. Now you are going to stop Sedon'a decline - WE ARE WATCHING.
On your 8 years on the City Council, you, the Vice Mayor voted with Mayor Moriaty 84.8% of the time (RRN debate Fox 10/6/22) contributing to the serious problems we are now experiencing in Sedona that you campaigned to fix. WE ARE WATCHING
You as Vice Mayor stated "I stand by my voting record 100%" RRN Debate 10/06/22 mark 27:54. Yet you campaigned on "Change". WE ARE WATCHING
You did not agree with Mayor Sandy's decision to mandate mask wearing (in June 2020) - yet you did nothing to contest her decision interfering with the personal freedoms of the citizens. WE ARE WATCHING
The "Emergency Declaration and mandate was not lifted until May 2021. RRN debate 10/06/2022 mark 1:05:30. WE ARE WATCHING
You campaigned on standing up and taking a leadership role yet you did not lead nor stand up for 8 years for your constituents. WE ARE WATCHING
You said "the time has come for serious change, not in the direction we are going, becasue we're going in exactly the right direction but most certainly how we get there and how fast we can do it." LWV Forum 7/7/22 mark 5:55 If that means spending $10s of millions into the future without long term consequences - maybe the statement makes little sense. WE ARE WATCHING
You voted in 2017 to eliminate the 30 day restriction on short-term rentals; the root cause of our STR problem creating a shortage in work force housing. You did not stand up and fight when it counted, you and the majority of the council caved to a marginal city attorney and a manipulative City manager instead of hiring outside legal council to review the positive and negative outcome of the most critical decision ANY Sedona city council has made since the incorporation of the city. Yet you commission studies at the drop of a hat for a myriad of other less important decisions. You have presented spending $millions of dollars to try and use big city projects to fix the mess. WE ARE WATCHING
You voted to change building codes to permit a 4 story apartment building. Not quite the quiet city environment that the citizens want. WE ARE WATCHING
You voted to make the temporary .5% sales tax on the citizens OF Sedona Permanent, and now the city is buying property, which takes it off the tax roles making the citizens property taxes go up even more. Brilliant. WE ARE WATCHING
You touted that you are an experienced politician. Now you are Mayor. You campaigned on fixing the problems you voted to create. As they say, you have a lot of "Explainin to do". WE ARE WATCHING
IS YOUR VISION THE COMMUNITY VISION? WE ARE WATCHING
