		<description><![CDATA[The 2007 election is over and the results are pretty much a done deal. I was glad to see that the Hospitality Tax increase went down in flames. The sour grapes crowd is already complaining about future problems funding parks and recreation. With the better part of two years left to put an acceptable proposal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Yuma&#8217;s next election day nears, we continue to hear about the proposed 25% increase in the hospitality tax. As is usual there has been quite a bit of misinformation generated by those with a vested interest in passing the proposition.
It has been said that this tax is aimed at out of towners who are using up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have seen a lot of comments recently bemoaning the lack of community involvement in local politics. In fact, it seems that only a few regularly participate in or comment on local affairs. I sometimes wonder if this serves as tacit approval for the status quo. Another thought is that the local citizenry feel that [...]]]></description>

Although the number of parcels actually impacted is relatively small, county residents had best take notice of the actions of the BOS. The strategy of the City of Yuma in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt about it! Yuma suffers from a lack of venues for small to large events. Musical acts and promoters complain about it. Local sports and music fans complain about it. In fact there has been a clamoring for the local government to do something about it.
Recently, an events center (arena) seating up to [...]]]></description>

Due to privacy concerns, it seems software degradations that supposedly will keep the most intimate details from being apparent are included.
