Hello, Northern Arizona! Back in 2011, I was serving on City Council and was invited to attend a Veterans Round Table at the American Legion hosted by (then) Coconino County Supervisor Mandy Metzger (District 4). It was there that a local man told a story about his brother, a United States Veteran who had passed […]
Hello, Flagstaff! It’s February, which means we’re solidly into another winter. It’s too early to tell if this one will last until May or if warm days will return sooner than ever. Council is back at work, and in Phoenix, the state legislature has reconvened. As of this writing, the federal government is still partially […]

As I travel around the state, growth is something I talk about with leaders from Tucson to Prescott and everywhere in between. Flagstaff has been growing at a steady rate of 1-2 percent a year for some […]
