NEWS FLASH--- COUNCIL APPROVES $50,000 EXPENDITURE AS CONSENT AGENDA ITEM.
Look Out! It's A Consent Agenda Item for Wed Sept 19. Once again, there are those on the OV Council who will not think twice on how they can spend OUR money. Read on.
Terry Parish, the unofficial spokesperson for Vestar's $23.2 giveaway, having told us, "It's A Home Run," is now saying, "It's something we have to do."
The "something" is to spend $50,000 of OUR money to "educate us" on why we should spend $160,000,000 for a park, when we can't even balance our budget without "zapping" the residents for, among other things, a tax on our gas, water & electric bills.
Sure, there are those that think a park is a good idea, and we'd agree. But to even consider spending $160 million for the likes of an aqua center and an amphitheater is in a word, "asinine!"
And, to consider another consultant-----which it seems, this council does on a regular basis, to try and convince us why we need this "monster" park, is ludicrous.
I don't want any $50,000 ---- but I'll "educate" you on why we don't need this park. It's as simple as this. Do Not Spend Money You Don't Have!

Think about what just happened.
Our council voted to use our money to convince us to tax ourselves.
Some of these council members are the same ones who urged us to vote for the 23.2 Vestar EDA deal.
Seems this type of deal, the EDA's may indeed be a bad deal, in fact an illegal deal as it may be in violation of the Arizona State Constitution.
So we should trust their advice or judgement WHY????
Last night the council voted to remove themselves from office.
When I first attended a council meeting a couple months ago there were only a few of us in attendance to witness our council in action. Last night we occupied at least a couple of rows and our numbers are soaring.
Today few control so many in OV, however, soon we will become the many and depose of the few.
Turtle,
Too funny! Actually if it was worded in a way that they had to vote NO, that might work!!!
Maybe the Mayor and the town staff along with the developers give the council a special drink, this disables their ability to remember they represent us and they forget how to say No.
Yes, say Yes, the puppeteer commands them.
You can imagine who pulls the strings
The council has their own agenda.
Not sure what that agenda is.
If hundreds of people had showed up to oppose something this time or anytime then maybe they would hear the people
We are invisible to them.
