Mayor Bob Burnside: "My vote is no. All you have known that. The public in my opinion has to pay this bill. I could stand here for hours but no one is going to listen to me."
CAMP VERDE - By a vote of 6 to 1, the Camp Verde council voted Wednesday evening to raise the town sales tax from 2 percent to 3 percent.
The vote as much a vote of confidence in Town Manger Russ Martin's plans to "move the town forward" as it was a realization that without additional income Camp Verde is on the brink.
The Art of Motion presented the spring concert, "Together We Dance VII," on Saturday afternoon at the Multi-Use Complex in Camp Verde. Cottonwood Parks & Recreation Dance Classes, Copper Canyon Academy Dancers and Belly Dancer Cassandra Zahnzinger, took part in the performance that was directed by Pamela Zahnzinger. There were 8 separate performances ranging from jazz and hip hop to ballet and tap, providing a lively and entertaining concert that had the audience cheering loudly in approval between dances.
