BEWARE! Oro Valley Council Majority Has More Taxes On The Horizon

As I said, BEWARE!"

At the March 23 Study Session, lead by council APPOINTEE Steve Solomon, it was decided to put the additional 1/4% sales tax increase on the June 1 Council agenda..

Previously, the 2% Utility Tax was added to the May 4 agenda.

Especially for the almost 25% of Oro Valley senior citizens that will NOT see a social security benefit increase for the 3rd year, I'm sure this will be welcome news (sarcasm intended)

PLEASE! Pay attention to who votes for what as there will be an election in one year----and, if need be, a recall even before then! (Not a threat, just a fact!)
