Our newly elected councilmen, Republican Steve Kozachik and Democrat Richard Fimbres, stop by Arizona Illustrated’s Friday Roundtable to talk about the city’s $31 million budget shortfall, roads, light rail, the downtown hotel and more.
Kozachik, BTW, wants to drop the city’s lawsuit to stop the state from imposing non-partisan and ward-only elections in Tucson. Fimbres says he more or less supports the lawsuit. Both said they wanted to avoid the police and fire layoffs highlighted in this morning’s Star.

I think Kozachik and Fimbres both did a good job answering the questions, and I liked seeing that they were in general agreement on the important issues that were brought up regarding the budget. I look forward to seeing how they work together.
