Oro Valley Library: Put It To A Vote

A Daily Star article details the Oro Valley library issue. The Pima County Library District wants complete control of the library. A select few in Oro Valley want complete control of the library, opting out of the Pima County Library District.

We're not sure where to come down on this issue. But we have a suggestion:

First, the town should prepare and present a cost analysis that quantitatively presents the costs to its citizens of either alternative: Branch or Free-Standing.

Second, the town should prepare a list of the qualitative reasons why having one or the other would be best.

Third, as Art posted in a comment to an August 19th post: The town should put the issue to a vote-

"Can anyone let us know why a vote of the people wouldn't be in the best interest of the community---whatever the outcome?

Perhaps the voters do know better than the "select few.""
