Arizona Illustrated reporters Andrea Kelly and Christopher Conover had Democratic Councilwoman Regina Romero and her Green Party challenger, Beryl Baker, in for a debate last week. Baker gets points for learning the politician’s trick of ignoring the reporter’s question and simply saying whatever she wants to say, but we’re not sure her concerns about a collapsing society (in response to a question about whether the city relies too much on sales taxes) is going to win over many voters. And we have to confess that we never expected a Green Party candidate to complain that it’s a waste of money to clean up contaminated landfills.

You dont give much information about this “brawl” despite the headline. Is there more??
lol…lol…
Bootyfull well written article full of information.
NO MORE BONDS Regina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you kidding?
I have had personal dealings with Beryl Baker.. She is a vile creature that will stop at nothing to get her way. She will make up lies and harrass people mercilessly to the extreme using slanderous and libelous methods. She has no shame or moral compass and doesnt belong anywhere near politics of any kind, especially any leadership role. I can, and will, provide documentation to back my allegation, if need be.
Regina Romero may not be perfect, but as long as she isn’t calling people’s landlords making false and fabricated allegations, or writing letters to her peer’s Primary Care Physician’s office with wildly absurd accusations that they are being kidnapped and held against their will by their love interest, well then she has my vote over Beryl Baker.
As for Beryl Baker, just because you have gotten away with your false claims and intimidation tactics in the past, it surely does not mean that you will continue to get away with it in the future. Your dead birds and human excrement left on my Lexus will not be tolerated. Pick and choose your battles wisely. I will not be pushed around by you or anyone else. My suggestion is to find a more productive hobby and have a wonderful New Year.
