In reply to Sandy schenkat. I'd love to show you issues of The Peak dating back to 1983. You will see information about most of the changes that have taken place in north Scottsdale (and some that did not), such as Grayhawk, Pinnacle Peak Park, Scottsdale's Scenic Drive, The McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Terra Vita, Pinnacle Peak Patio, Bond issues, etc. One of the objective of The Peak since its founding has been to provide accurate information about proposed changes. In some cases that involves publishing information provided by developers and proposals submitted by respected organizations. Because we try to provide factual information about something does not mean that we support it or oppose it. I think learning is important and in order to do that you must have an open mind and good information.

In reply to Patricia Shaler. The Peak should remain neutral on the Desert Edge. I think this is a violation of most of your supporters.

Thank you for an extremely comprehensive and factual report on the Desert Edge! We are very excited about presenting the new vision, name, location, experiences and design for the project that the City has been planning since the inception of the Preserve. The Desert EDGE is intended to deepen knowledge of and inspire love for the desert and the Preserve that will ensure its protection by future generations. We look forward to working with the community in bringing this dream into reality and appreciate your providing this information to your readers.

No new taxes BECAUSE they plan to raid the Preserve Fund – that is the money that voters already taxed ourselves to pay to buy Preserve Land & maintian trailheads. This is why they insist on destroying acres of the Preserve for the DDC because that is the ony way that they can take the Preserve money. Otherwise, the Presrve money could be returned to the taxpayers. When they say ‘no new taxes’ they are technically correct – instead they are misappropriating current taxes.
