By a vote of 6-1, with Bill Garner being the "one," Oro Valley basically told the senior citizens and the disabled, you're not important.
Or as "The Appointed One," Steve Solomon noted:
"Unfortunately, this is where the rubber hits the road. When you cut, you affect real people and real lives."
Solomon added that the cuts are necessary to balance the town's budget.
So, The Coyote Run Transit Service that was designed to be used for those age 62 and older, and the disabled, will be disbanded.
Discontinuing the bus service in order to help balancing the budget is one thing.
These other six on the council want to save money?
Let them join with Bill Garner and vote to take away the vast majority of the 68 police take home vehicles, that go as far as Sahaurita.
These priorities prove what this council majority cares about; and it's certainly not the people!
