In his letter to The Explorer, Oro Valley resident Maurice McCarty suggests it may be prudent for Pima County to take over Oro Valley.
My only comment is this: In your 13 years here, Mr. McCarty, we've never had the luxury of a council majority that will consider the rights of the people. I believe that will finally change.

County should take over Oro Valley
It’s unfortunate that at the last election we only were able to oust two of the council. Hopefully we will oust another in May.
Three down, two to go.
I think the county should consider taking over Oro Valley. I for one would vote for it.
In the 13 years I have lived here the town council has been totally out of touch with the residents and has shown an inability to act rationally. For example: a considerable amount of time was spent developing the comprehensive plan, now a couple of years later the council appears to be leaning toward major revisions. What has changed?
It’s as if children are playing a game where you get to make up the rules as you play.

Mr. McCarty raises a very good point. Why have a general plan, something that took years to agree upon, only to have developers seek to amend it and hope that the rest of us are sleeping?
The Kai Property is one example.
The town's web site shows four other sites up for "amendment", including a property at Hardy and Oracle. This area is zoned for single family homes. Now developer WB wants to build yet more cluster zoned, cheap town houses. Jeesshh.. Enough is enough already.
See the properties that are seeking general plan amendment by click here.
And, please, neighbors, pay attention to this.
