We have tried to point out that this Town Council Majority will vote on a Utility Tax Increase at the May 4 Council meeting.
Please read our April 25 posting: Oro Valley's Proposed Utility Tax Is A Major Contradiction.
At this past Wed meeting, OV citizens expressed their displeasure about this potential tax increase.
Our position: Don't raise the tax: rescind the tax! Find money by cutting the bloated police budget, including the 68 take home cars (and motorcycles.)
Read some of the citizen's comments in The Explorer article here.

I just learned today that, when the City of Tucson Electric Company (TEP) instituted a Utility Tax, the charge to the Tucson City School System was outrageous. Now Oro Valley is trying to do the same thing, especially NOW when the budget for our students is less. Imagine what this increase will do to our schools. Computers, lights almost everything the students do will have a dire effect on the schools. HOW IRRESPONSIBLE of this Council to even consider such a TAX.
They (except for Bill Garner and Barry Gillaspie's nays) passed the 4% utility tax.
Where is the recall petition; have a few signatures around here.
We need a petition to recall the five uncaring Council Members and the greedy mayor who want to tax us to death. Did I hear the mayor ran up a 19K credit card bill for the Town as well as his salary?
