"Desert Voice" ----A Voice That Should Be Heard By All Oro Valley Voters

This comment was just posted by a blogger using the pseudonym "Desert Voice" in our posting "PLEASE! Do Not Allow Special Interest Money To Buy The Oro Valley Mayoral Election"

We thought it deserved its own posting and we hope all our readers will not only hear the words of "Desert Voice" but listen to what this blogger has to say.

Art,

There is a feeling of naivete in the SH (Satish Hiremath) that you describe; well meaning but untried. While young from our perspective as we are "vintage" among younger mortals, it is surprising that he's allowing himself to be manipulated by his backers. Forty-something, he is idealistic and ripe for political string pullers.

Zinkin, with fewer financial resources, will emerge from the campaign as noble. He had the opportunity to file against the councilwoman who complained about him on his use of the Town logo. He maturely accepted responsibility, took the financial hit and moved on. Zinkin declined to file a complaint against SH for having four people campaign on four corners of Oracle without a legal permit to do so. He also said at the beginning of the race, that he thought he and Satish could be friends. One wonders now how he feels. He could have taken dollars from big backers but remained steadfast to his word, to remain independent of political debts to big backers. Perry of the Explorer, whose bias was clear to the perceptive reader, from the start invited him to be interviewed and not surprisingly backed SH. In the spirit of sportsmanship he has told business that if they don't vote for him that won't change the way he will treat them when he is elected. Now that is a real statement of class.

While SH might be a very nice person, his political views remain unrevealed. What is very scary is that more and more of Hiremath's documented misrepresentations hit the news.It is reminiscent of feeding time in a shark tank with great thrashing for the meal. Thrashing, throwing money at the goal of getting the vote, but little substance.

I concur with both Nombe and Art that Zinkin's getting in depends on each and every voter to get to the polls even if we can't donate to the cause or walk for him, we can vote for him and get everyone else we know to do the same.

As Art said "other backers" have literally thrown money to Satish and will expect return favors...We need to stand behind Zinkin to keep that basic American freedom of the voice of the people alive, listened to and forming American government.

PLEASE! Do Not Allow Special Interest Money To Buy The Oro Valley Mayoral Election

Anyone that opens the NW section of today's Az Daily Star can't miss the full page advertisement paid for the Hiremath for OV Mayor Committee.

It's good for him that he has the money to spend in his quest to get elected, including one "Super-PAC contribution in the amount of $2,080.

PLEASE! Be a smart voter. Do NOT ALLOW Special Interest Groups to buy our election.

IT WILL COST US, THE TAXPAYERS IN THE LONG RUN.

MIKE ZINKIN DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS FROM ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS FUNDING HIS CAMPAIGN.

Mike can NOT afford full page ads or as many mailings, or as many signs that seem to be at every corner, including some properties that belong to developers.

Let the Oro Valley citizens decide what's best for us.

PLEASE VOTE FOR MIKE ZINKIN FOR MAYOR.
