The Oro Valley Council voted last week to give OUR money to outside organizations. Although some may be worthy charities, we think the council is being a little too philanthropic when it comes to the likes of TREO, MTCVB, GOVAC (with new name) & C-Path that received almost $200,000 of the total of $277,717.
These groups will be funded the following amounts:
Amphi Foundation $2,000
Arizona Distance Classic $3,000
Arizona Paralyzed Veterans $4,500
Arthritis Foundation $1,375
Catalina Community Services $3,750
Community Food Bank $15,000
Critical Path $25,000
GOVAC $61,930
Interfaith Community Services $1,250
MTCVB $72,000
Oro Valley Parade $1,893
Pima Council on Aging $9,019
Perimeter Bicycling $13,750
Project Graduation $10,000
TREO $40,000
TriSports Racing $13,250
Total $277,717

Why? ...Just why?
repost the numbers are hosed.
I am against the public sector making donations for any reason to a third party organization.
That is not the purpose of Government.
I want my money back!!!!!!
We ought to stuff the next meeting and make loud rude comments like the wing nuts at congressional town halls.
"Keep your government hands off my social security"
I guess social security is NOT a gov. program.
An article in this week's Explorer said that OV was getting $164,000 in federal economic recovery funds to be used to conduct an energy audit at all Town Hall buildings.
So why are we giving away $277,000 with one hand while accepting $164,000 with the other hand?
It doesn't make sense VC, and the benefits derived from those 'non-profits', very little. WE SHOULD DEMAND THAT THOSE RECEPTORS DISCLOSE, IN FULL, HOW THEIR MONEY IS SPENT - SALARIES, BENEFITS TO OV, ETC.!
