On this week’s Zona Politics with Jim Nintzel: Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll stops by to talk about the county budget, this year’s bond proposal, the latest on the Rosemont Mine, how state budget cuts are affecting Pima County and more. Then Tucson City Councilwoman Karin Uhlich talks about the city budget, the mass transit system, potholes, the homeless and more. Watch online here or tune in at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning on KGUN-9.

Both are as useless as a one legged man at an azz kicking contest.
5th poorest city in the country. No growth, no jobs, no future.
I find it interesting that Ray Carroll whines about a lack of revenue for Pima County, then proceeds to condemn, again, one of the few opportunities for growth with weak and fallacious arguments. So typical of politicians of all stripes.
It is my hope that someday reason, hopefully not desperation, will bring people like him to accept the fact that all true wealth begins with the wise and responsible exploitation of our God-given natural resources, such as the Rosemont Project.
The County Government is a total failure. The Baltimore of the West.
The county should only spend money for: 1. Roads 2. Schools 3. Police / Courts*
All other funding should be suspended until the three items above are in proper order.
Then our property taxes should be reduced by 1/3.
*Police and Court funding has to be rationalized. Anyone see the cost overruns on the new court house?
