Poll Results: Our Readers Say "Yes" to Garner, Gillaspie & Latas --- Loomis Is The Big Loser

In our recently completed poll concerning Mayor Loomis, and his "underhanded" deed of raiding our contingency fund, our readers were unequivocal in their responses.

While Bill Garner, Barry Gillaspie & Salette Latas received a great endorsement for their stand against the Loomis action, the mayor and his "3 yes votes" received a overwhelming amount of deserved scorn.

Perhaps Loomis, Kunisch, Carter & Abbott, whose terms all expire next year, will think twice before they vote against the best interests of the people of Oro Valley.

Thanks to those readers that took the time to voice their opinion.

Following is the poll question and responses.
