Thanks to Tom Jenney, Executive Director, Arizona Federation of Taxpayers, we were alerted to the article from The AZ Republic columnist, Robert Robb that was printed in today's Tucson Explorer.
Mr. Robb points out that the voters in Phoenix & Glendale approved a sales tax increase. "The turnout in Phoenix was an anemic 17 percent. In Glendale, where the sale tax increase was the only thing on the ballot, it was even lower, just 11 percent."
Mr. Robb goes on to say: "This is the way the spenders want it, low-turnout elections dominated by city government interest groups and groupies."
Hopefully, the voters in Oro Valley will be more diligent and concerned.
