Verde Independent remains silent; Postcards allegedly masquerading as a newsletter would have hyped current Board members running for election

The Sedona Red Rock News has joined the Cottonwood Journal in reporting on the investigation into the alleged politically tainted postcards masquerading as a newsletter Yavapai Community College was preparing to send out just prior to the November election.  It is alleged that the postcards hyped the current Governing Board members including Ray Sigafoos and Connie Harris who are running in contested elections in their districts. 

The article, authored by Corey Oldenhauis, appeared on the front page of the October 19 edition of the newspaper. It detailed the conflict between College President Penelope Wills and Paul Chevalier and Wayne Meddaugh, who are running for the seats on the Board, over the meaning and application of Arizona statute 15-1408.  The statute prohibits community colleges from using their resources to influence the outcome of an election.
