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.
Josh: You and the Coalition played a huge role in this historic outcome and deserve high praise … Thank you for what you’ve accomplished in such a short time. Bill
Why spend a million dollars on hiring cops, putting new equipment in the field, etc… when you can spend it on an election to convince voters there isn’t enough money to do that?
THANKS for TCFC doing the heavy lifting and focusing on the real priorities of this community.
Thank you TCFC for taking this effort on. You’ve been at it for two years and haven’t let up.
The photos of the looks on their faces in the Daily Star says it all – they got thumped.
Thank you for the work TCFC did to secure this decisive victory!
