The July 16th Explorer reports that to help alleviate the state's projected deficit of $2 billion, a bill may be passed that mandates that local governments pay the state based on a formula used for Highway User Revenue Funds (HURF).
Do we remember that it was Vice Mayor Al Kunisch at the last council meeting who made the ludicrous statement concerning Oro Valley paying the Hilton the total of $420,000 to reconfigure their 4th fairway?
Kunisch's irrational reasoning (Bill Garner corrected him) was that the money was coming not from our General Fund, but-----you guessed it----from HURF!
Read the report here that quotes Oro Valley's spokesperson Mary Davis as saying: "It's going to be hard." That article also notes that "Davis said town leaders are not yet sure how much Oro Valley will be expected to pay when the state’s collectors come calling. Where the money will come from also remains undetermined."

So the State is going to "rob Peter to Pay Paul?" Outrageous.
Equally outrageous is Kunish.
Hey Al. At some point it all boils down to us, the taxpayers, footing the bill.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!
There was a rumor going around some time ago that Kunisch is/was as dumb as a mop.
The rumor seems to have been confirmed.
