For those of you who may not receive the Explorer, but read it via their web site, "The Guest Opinion" is noted as "Community Submitted." We didn't have to read the paper to determine who the writer turned out to be. None other than "Disingenuous Dankwerth" Oro Valley's Vice Mayor.
This is the same Dankwerth who writes about her opposition to these giveaways, but when given a number of opportunities to be proactive she did absolutely nothing on behalf of the citizens.
This is the same Dankwerth who just two weeks ago stated how opposed she was to allowing a 60' hotel to be built in Innovation Park----just moments before she voted to approve it.
Her quote: "Our community must decide whether it wants to be a “special place” or just another town with champagne tastes and a beer budget," is particularly interesting. Dankwerth evidently had a "champagne taste" when she saw fit to have that expensive steak dinner at taxpayer's expense on one of her sojourns to Washington DC. And why not? It was paid for by the citizens of Oro Valley!
You can read what Dankwerth had to say here, and form your own opinion.

Oh---by the way, we thought the Explorer Editorial said what needed to be said. We commend them for providing this community service to Oro Valley.
