Just Say "NO" To Oro Valley Incumbents!

In his letter to The Explorer, OV citizen Ray McMahon offers some some great advice. Mr. McMahon sums it up this way. "Salette Latas and Bill Garner represent a chance for change and a more responsible government that will not tax and spend."

Just say ‘no’ to OV council incumbents

After carefully examining the records of the incumbents of the current town of Oro Valley Council, I have come to one clear conclusion. Just vote “No” for the incumbents.

The existing town council has increased our taxes, added new fees to our water bills, given tax breaks to retail developers, and demonstrated a total inability to say no to department heads for staff additions, programs and increased budget growth. Check the records, in the past five years Oro Valley population has grown by 3 percent per year while the town’s budget and employee growth has been grown at a 6 percent annual rate. Fifteen percent versus 30 percent in five years is a clear chart to where the town council incumbents are taking Oro Valley in the future.

Our current town council has not served the citizens in a fiscally responsible manner and need to be replaced with new, more economically thoughtful leaders.

Salette Latas and Bill Garner represent a chance for change and a more responsible government that will not tax and spend.

Say YES to Salette Latas and Bill Garner. Say NO to the incumbents.
My ballot is marked and ready to go
Count 2 votes in my house for Salette Latas and Bill Garner.

We have ours--for Bill and Salette--ready for the mail. Thinking perhaps we should wait a few days for the actual mailing; we wouldn't want the ballots to get "lost".

Only voting for TWO is important so that Bill and Salette may get over 50% the first time around.
