It’s another feisty edition of Political Roundtable as City Councilman Steve Kozachik takes on the Rio Nuevo Board, Jonathan Paton predicts that the GOP is going to bring the pain the mayor’s race and Paul Eckerstrom takes on Attorney General Tom Horne over redistricting.

Ugh. Paton is such an obfuscator.
Koz speaks with a crooked tongue. He continually protects his dysfunctional internal audit mismanager, Jane Prior, who has failed miserably to provide oversight for the city.
He supports a city manager that cost the city a million dollars in legal costs. Koz’s credibility is slipping into the same hole as the rest of the council.
The City of Tucson is the definition of a dysfunctional sewer of cronyism and corruption.
I tried to watch the show, honestly, but I can’t stomach Paton. I’ll be a viewed again when he’s off the air.
I don’t have a dog in the fight between the City and the Rio Nuevo Board, but don’t both of them represent taxpayers? …different groups of taxpayers. According to my understanding, the Board claims that the City, representing one group of taxpayers, took a large amount of money from the other group. Is the Board wrong about that or is it simply exercising its fiduciary responsibilities? I don’t know the answer but hope that the media will help to clarify that issue.
