WE WON!!! TCFC Members WON!!! City Prop 414 Soundly DEFEATED!!!
IT'S TIME FOR MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO DO THE WORK WE PAY THEM TO DO!
Prop 414 was defeated 70% to 30% because citizens believe Mayor and Council are NOT doing their job. They showed no evidence they looked at the budget and made priority decisions or tradeoffs. They took the easy route and simply decided to ask for more money which would have made Tucson the highest sales tax in Arizona! That would have hurt our most vulnerable citizens.
They called an election that could potentially rise to the cost of $1M dollars. Wasted.
Council Member Kevin Dahl (Ward 3), who illegally campaigned for Prop 414 at a City Council Meeting and Mayor Romero, in particular, are out-of-touch with the voters. This election demonstrated how the doubling-down on failed policies is hurting our citizens. Even after this overwhelming defeat, Mayor Romero, at her party, on the news, was blaming the President for her failure locally.
It's time to listen and stop pursuing ideological, failed policies. This was a referendum on Mayor and Council failed policies.
Let's get back to work and prioritize within the budget to provide services specified in the city charter including:
- Making us safe
- Fixing our roads
- Providing TPD what is needed to respond to our 911 calls
Mayor and Council have lost their focus and need to heed this overwhelming rejection of their current failed policies.
Congrats to everyone involved in defeating this!
Now that their proposition was defeated Regina and her friends (counsel members) can gather at the corners or at the street traffic lights and beg for the money they need (for their own benefit) and see how many people will hand them anything.
So glad they got defeated and hopefully catch the drift and resign.
Finally some good news.
Thank you for keeping citizens informed. Tucson in a wonderful unique city with lots of challenges. Your efforts help us sort through the false rhetoric for wasteful spending. A fair and solid plan will be supported.
This is not civil discourse Ms Meeks.You are contributing to the problem with your slander.There were very legitimate reasons to oppose the tax. Sign me, Rational Left Liberal.
