The Explorer Feb 11 issue reports that the Oro Valley Council rejected GOVAC's request for an additional $25,000 for the July 4 event.
This is not "new news," as we posted the results of that vote on Feb 4. Oro Valley Council Says "No" To GOVAC July 4 Funding.
Perhaps more interesting was the balance of The Explorer article pertaining to the request from Mayor Loomis for more funds for travel.
A compromise was reached when Al Kunisch & Paula Abbott (why Paula???) voted to give the mayor $2,500 each from their travel budget.
Salette Latas brought up the fact that Mr. Loomis took that sojourn to Europe last May at a cost of $11,000.
As far as we know, the council & citizens are still wondering what was accomplished by the mayor going.
Perhaps if he filled out a trip report, we'd know that it was a waste of time, and a waste of taxpayer's money!
Here's The Explorer article.
