WILLS MUST KEEP VERDE VALLEY UNDER CONTROL TO SWING THIS DEAL
The budget for the next five years for Yavapai Community College shows that the Yavapai Community College Foundation will pour $1.5 million into the completely unneeded multi-use field. The College propagandists will say it is for graduation and other outside events.
However, in fact, (who cares about facts) the project is to build a soccer field and is in response to the soccer lobby coming from within and outside the College.
In order to pull off this waste of money project, (why use this easy money for scholarships or improving faculty salaries) President Penelope Wills must keep the Verde Valley under control. Thus, the press from her and her press office regarding the Sedona parking lot and a promise of over $3 million to renovate the Sedona Center will be repeated again and again. And the idea of “possibly” setting up a culinary school will be heard repeatedly.
This is a part of the brutal political game Wills’ continues to play with the Verde Valley. Oh, the remaining $2 to $3 million or more for the multi-use field will be paid by the taxpayers in the County from their property taxes.
You may recall that the Blog’s video reporter was denied access to a meeting held by College president Penelope Wills with NAU and the mayor and Prescott Valley Town Council on March 26. Since that time, Wills’ has been saying that the minutes of the meeting will be publicly available. Finally, they were received by the Blog on June 16.
