  1. Wow! Nothing like a Democrat pointing out what a failed policy Democrats try to bring forward. “Government is not a business.” That is like saying, “Our policies will lose and waste money.”

  2. OMG! She is using the ” save the children” to try and fleece taxpayers. I think the citizens are smartening up to that ploy by the Bureaucrats?

  3. Pima County has the highest taxes in the State of Arizona and they want to increase it more! They can’t fix our roads, they can’t bring in business that will bring in jobs, and etc … it is really simple … no jobs, no money, no money, no taxes, no taxes no more governmental services. Sounds like Ducey has the issue correct!

  4. Pima County Democratic Party Chair Cheryl Cage if very naive! Jobs don’t come from being educated … they come from those who own and operate businesses (with or without education behind them)! No businesses, no jobs, no money, no taxes and no governmental services. She fails to be able to think six moves ahead!

  6. Fix the potholes. You took our money on the promise to maintain the streets. Then on Sunrise you couldn’t even use the right asphalt. What a joke you are.

  7. Open dialog of the CITY OF TUCSON Mayor & Council??? Surely you are kidding. They’ve passed ordinances and resolutions without allowing any public comment. How is that open dialog?

  8. I see potholes in our streets as the “Broken Windows” theory for city/state government. If you can’t continuously reduce the time it takes to fix the potholes, then the government is failing the citizens and does not deserve to govern a second term.

    When I lived in the East Valley in Maricopa County, potholes were fixed expeditiously.

    There are two potholes at 22nd and Alvernon I reported 20 days ago. Not fixed. This is a major intersection, and there is really no excuse why this would take more than 2 weeks.

    When the Gem Show came to town and the spring semester began for U of Az, how could I not be embarrassed at the state of our roadways?

  9. The comments section is proof enough that we need better education in Tucson. What part of “No tax money, no services” don’t you understand?
