Incoporation is a tool to achieve more CONTROL over the Citizenry, under the guise of Protection and seeing to what the Elitists perceive as what they deem in your best interest at your EXPENSE! If you VALUE your small PRIVATE lifestyle, Do NOT allow bureaucrats to CONTROL your Life and Empty Your Pockets! Then they will turn neighbor agaist neighbor to, HELPFULLY remove Hazards, Keep you SAFE by limiting your FREEDOM and ability to DECIDE for YOURself! There are ways of creating COMMUNITY SELF regulation without appointing or Electing OTHERS to CONTROL YOU! Remember an ELECTION is an advance auction on STOLEN PROPERTY! Be Careful what you wish for and urge your elected officials to Throw the Bums out and do NOT make SLAVES out of U.S., by forcing U.S. to CONTRACT with Private Insurance Companies to benefit the Un-insured on your dime. Yes health care needs to be reformed but not by MONEY thirsty Socialists working stealthily BEHIND CLOSED DOORS to TAKE away YOUR RIGHT to DECIDE what's GOOD for YOU, to hoodwink you out of your RIGHT to decide what doctor, what shots, what nutrition, YOU NEED and CHARGE you for the BENEFIT of FORCING yOU to do what they SAY or else!

Why would we incorporate? I have lived in the area for 38 years and so no reason for another layer of government over me. The only revenue will be from sales tax and/or property tax, which means more tax collecting businesses are needed. I thought these people wanted to keep this a rural area. I don't understand their thinking.

Thud! The sound of closed minds is deafening!
There's no doubt about it -- closed minds abound in Williamson Valley (CLANK, like a steel trap). It's funny that there never is a reasonable comment from these folks, just name-calling and ridicule with no substance. You'll get your chance to weigh in at the polls after the rest of us folks have a chance to get all the information and make up our own minds. Keep your hidden agendas (developers and their paid politicians anyone?). Follow the money folks. We'll keep thinking for ourselves, keep asking questions and then decide when election time rolls around. That's the American Way!

I have no intention of supporting any part of this idea. I have lived out here for 2 decades and all this incorporation talk is just plain stupid. Enough Said!!!!!

It would seem to me that if you were having a Williamson Valley Incorporation meeting, you would have the meeting somewhere in Williamson Valley. Oh, I forgot, Williamson Valley is just a bedroom community and has no meeting space. A city hall and meeting facilities would be one the first major expences facing a town with NO sales tax income. Or maybe they could have city council meetings at a downtown Prescott school building.

The proposed incorporation does not have a snowballs chance in Phoenix of passing. WV residents are much smarter than that. Just another Lockwood show. The hopeful future mayor needs to move on to another cause. Maybe one of the new County Supervisor positions.

Bend over and write your check
The Assessor at this meeting makes a lot of sense. Bend over and write your check.
