All Politics Is Local

That's the saying to explain why Americans are, generally, down on Congress but mostly happy with their own congress critters. However, the crowd dressed in black at the Square on Friday was there to protest what they see as arrogance on the part of the county board. The issue: widening Williamson Valley Road from two to five lanes. There were signs aplenty.

Highlight of the rally: the announcement that the Friends of Williamson Valley are filing a complaint against all three county supervisors, accusing them of ignoring the General Plan, which does not include the big road widening project. Guess which people on the steps comprise the FWV board members and which is the lawyer.

My position? I'm for anything that will slow creeping Californication of Yavapai County -- especially the back country, what's left of it. Way to go, Georgene!
