The citizens group that advises Town Council on Town Finances had come up with some innovate ways to keep Oro Valley in the black ("Oro Valley Citizens Suggest Changes To Council"). They're recommendations prevent the general fund from going into debt.
The group recommended changes like having the county run the Library and not building the Naranja Park Site. Like it or not, now is the time for innovative thinking when it comes to town finances. Oro Valley needs to tighten the belt.

Overblown
One result of unbridled growth is the administrative bloat that comes with it. And Oro Valley is no exception.
Oro Valley public relations is on the move (Squeezed To The Max), justifying why the town , at this time-when a new budget is in front of Town Council, and new taxes are proposed- must expand administrative facilities; increasing further costs of running this town.
We think that the town should first scrub its administrative structure, clean out the deadwood and the excess spending that always comes with unbridled growth. Oro Valley needs a strict diet before committing to new, expensive projects. Might just be that a good scrubbing will reduce headcount such that a new town operations center isn't needed.
