Bill Garner, A Council Member Who Cares About Oro Valley Citizens

There doesn't appear to be too many members of the Oro Valley Town Council---if any at all, that consistently stand up for the people of Oro Valley.

Bill Garner has worked for us since his election in 2008.

Bill recently hosted a "Council On Your Corner," meeting with Oro Valley residents.

One major point Bill brought up was the fact the Oro Valley's population, according to the recent census, is at 41,011, an increase of only 1100 over 2005.

The question then is: Why did we have a 2005 budget of $99 million, and a current budget of $116.2 million?

For those not proficient in math,the population increased ONLY 3% and the current budget(2010-11)increase is approx. 17.5%!

This increase is $2 million more than the cost of living from 2005 to 2011.

I repeat the question: WHY???

Read why Bill Garner deserves the accolades of the people of Oro Valley in The Explorer article. (Note The Explorer article notes a population increase of 8% As I said, the population increased ONLY 3% since 2005.)
