FINAL TCFC CALL TO ACTION - ARE YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM? RESPOND TO THE SURVEY
🚨 ARE YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM? THINGS ARE NOT GOOD.
TCFC Members,
Sorry for the dire headline — but it’s urgent. Today is the FINAL DAY to take the City of Tucson’s budget survey, and the current results are deeply concerning. The top priorities so far will not make Tucson safer — in fact, they may make things worse.
We’re fighting for Tucson — but we can’t do it alone.
This is your last chance to influence where your tax dollars go.

I told you not to get your hopes up too much yet because they’re going to decide what’s best for the druggies and the homeless if you notice in the survey all the top items were already the items they were focusing on before they even created a survey. Nothing’s going to change until an audit is done. nothing is going to change until an audit is done.
With Tucson’s downtown Infill and 5G infrastructure basically in place, safety is an issue bigger and more important than ever before for those living and working there.
Trees are important, too, as the majestic ones still standing in what’s left of Tucson’s natural desert must certainly be affected by the heat island effect and sufering. MJ, your idea is brilliant, but I expect nothing less from someone who hangs out on VSRF Thurs evenings!
Very eagerly completed this survey and sent to all the rational people I could think of. We need to significantly increase our financial support to the officers protecting the people of Tucson. Thank you, TCFC, for making sure the word got out and here’s praying that more reasonable people complete it!
We choose people over pigs, every time.
Far be it from me to be against trees. I’m not.
But here’s the thing about trees: You can get them for free!
Ever notice those annoying mesquite pods or ironwood pods all over the place during the summertime? Well, be annoyed no more. Sweep ’em up, take ’em home, and put ’em in a pot full of good old Tucson dirt.
Water for a few months, and hark! You just started your very own tree! All you have to do is find a good place and plant it.
You’re welcome, City of Tucson. I just saved you a ton of money with Trees for Free.
