Super to want all people to be knowledgeable about art by way of museums and such, but I have a major nomination for wonderful.
As a tutor - read, retired teacher who can still be useful - I have visited most libraries in the Tucson system to meet with students, and the most attended, most active and most involved staff is the one on Valencia. It is unbelievable busy with families in and out at all times of the day. The majority of the constitutents there are Hispanic and Native Americans, plus our newest citizens from Africa. The kids are respectful, the adults are supportive and the air is full of excitement for books and what they contain. Bravo, Valencia!!!
Different issue, same park. PAYING NO TAXES. That's right, TGP is not taxed, so they are much less an asset to South Tucson than they could be. So, voters in South Tucson, want to look into that one? Think of all the revenue you could use to assist with the "over-stretched resources," which I read as overworked and underpaid law enforcement and fire fighting personnel. South Tucson voters take on this issue, which includes treatment of live animals and lack of taxes on as your issue. It's your town, it is beautiful, the heritage is not found anywhere else. Please don't loose it.
