"The 12 Million Dollar Question"

Our good friend Phil Richardson, a long-time resident of the Suffolk Hills community has been analyzing the Golder Ranch Fire District annexation of various communities within Oro Valley.

Please take a few minutes to read Phil's piece he has aptly titled "The 12 Million Dollar Question."

If you're not familiar with the GRFD issue, this may be a real "eye opener."

PS--- Yesterday we did a posting on this subject and quoted the folks at Pima Association of Taxpayers---
"ORO VALLEY people should be allowed the opportunity to annex with them and not be forced into Golder Ranch-and pay for there annexation growth into Pinal County."

Wow! Readers Have Been Getting Phone Calls From Phx On Behalf Of Terry Parish

We have been advised that some of our readers have been receiving phone calls from Phoenix. The caller gives his name and mentions he is calling on behalf of the Republican Party, soliciting votes for Terry Parish, "a good Republican candidate running for the Oro Valley Council."

How curious is this? We have to wonder who in Phoenix might want Terry Parish elected to the Oro Valley Council? Might it be a big developer that already contributed thousands of dollars to the Parish "war chest?"

We don't know. If any of our readers get a similar call, why not let us hear from you.

Whether you get a call or not, remember to vote. Your choice is either Barry Gillaspie or Terry Parish. The latter acknowledges the support of the development/business community. The former might be more in tune with the people. The decision is yours.
