The Snowflake, Arizona area has been my home now for 25 years. It's like any other place, and yet like no other place, to live and raise a family. I believe that the 'good' aspects of this area far outweigh the 'not so good'.
It seems that politics keep things stirred up wherever you are. Politics here are interesting, and fairly lively at times. Power and control are the goals, as it is anywhere. With all I've seen, I think that the Snowflake area has some unique challenges to face on the political front. That said, I also believe that this area has what it takes to achieve something incredible in that arena. Time will tell. Combining Snowflake and Taylor into one city, named 'Snowflake', is only the logical next step [ I don't believe that Snowflake will ever change its' name]. If completed, the event will give Snowflake's leadership, both elected and not, a clear path to domination of Navajo County politics, and everything that goes along with it. It may all hinge on a vote by the people of Taylor, and, of course, Snowflake, Az. Odds are that the towns will merge as 'Snowflake' at some point, due to the politics involved.
Snowflake did not do as well this November 2008 as many, including myself, thought it would. Even with the block voting common here in such circumstances, i.e. 81-85% in favor of 'Snowflakes' own' for County Sheriff in the Snowflake and Taylor voting precincts, his opponent won the race by some 844 votes. Snowflake has been otherwise very successful in controlling various Boards, Committees, and many elected positions within Navajo County. I think that the patterns reveal much of the intent of those in control. Input anyone?
The City of Snowflake is a tourist destination, with many interesting cultural and historical features. You can check out the official City of Snowflake website for more information using the link on this page. The Town of Taylor is very relevant to Snowflake, and a link is provided here. A link to the Cedar Hills area east of Snowflake is also listed here. Check us out.
I think that as time passes it will become clear to all that Snowflake is the center of political power in Navajo County, and possibly the whole of Northeastern Arizona. How it claims that title, and holds on to it, should be of interest to a wide range of people.
If you have ideas for developing this website, or concerning what you want to see on this site, please contact me.
Thank you for your interest.
