Councilman Rob Crawley is a financial professional. Crawley states that he has been analyzing the city finances, as he promised in his campaign which got him elected for four years now, hoping to report his result to the Citizens of Cedar Hills..
Crawley’s research has focused on the controversial golf course and it’s $550,000 avg./yr. losses (taxpayer subsidies), and the long term trends. He provided a report to the entire City Council (including incumbent candidates Jenney Rees and Mike Geddes) and Mayor in the hopes of gaining support to publish the information in the city newsletter to educate CH voters before the election. He was refused.
Instead, Mayor Gygi decided to reconvene a golf finance committee which he claims is un-biased. With time running out before the election, with no final results available, and Mayor Gygi refusing the information to be published, Councilman Crawley decided to take matters into his own hands in order to reach the people who elected him.
Crawley published a flyer with financial facts, and a “Option B” as a possible alternative to the golf course, printed it with his own money, and personally deliver many of the flyers door-to-door throughout the community from Oct. 7-10.
The following PDF is a copy of Crawley’s flyer, provide by him at CHCRG’s request for out readers…

In addition to the research and financial analysis provided on the flyer, Crawley invited readers to visit his blog where he posted pages of additional support documentation.

Could the Crawley Flyer Effect the Election?
The mail-in ballots have now been distributed citywide and sit in the hands of voters since Wednesday October 7th.
The impact of the Crawley flyer is unknown yet. For example, candidates who addressed the final question, “Are you in favor of a fully informed vote by the citizens of the future of the golf course?”, didn’t have the benefit of Crawley’s final financials analysis & “Option B”. So, their comments were not yet fully informed.

What remains to be seen is if the candidates will now fully read his flyer and supporting documentation, understand it, and reconsider their positions.
Stay tuned!
