Flagstaff is the Place To Be in December

December 6, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

At the turn of each season, I tell myself that this new season is my favorite in Flagstaff. I do especially love winter and enjoy the festivities of December. There’s something especially enticing about the gratitude and generosity demonstrated throughout the month. I try to get out and enjoy all the holiday celebrations, support local artists and businesses, and pay special attention to all the wonderful nonprofit organizations who are feeding, comforting and sheltering our neighbors.

The center recently released their Arizona Voters’ Agenda (AVA) based on a statistically relevant survey of Arizona voters – results of … [Read more...] about Promoting Problem-Solving, Looking to the Arizona Voters’ Agenda

Seeking Support, Solutions for Flagstaff’s Challenges

June 7, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

In late April, I joined nearly 50 other mayors and descended on Washington, D.C., on a mission to fight for solutions to address the housing and homelessness crisis affecting U.S. cities. We advocated for changes to voucher income qualifications for veterans, additional funding for housing choice vouchers and increasing or eliminating the cap on the number of project-based vouchers (vouchers that are attached to a rental development rather than an individual or family). On the first day of our … [Read more...] about Seeking Support, Solutions for Flagstaff’s Challenges
