Talk about hypocrisy; Mayor Hiremath's first State of the Town Speech in Sept 2010 highlighted one word: "RESPECT."
Here's Hiremath's own words as published in the Sept 22 Explorer:
"We need to return to a sense of community that respects our children, our businesses, our public safety, and most importantly, our seniors," the Oro Valley mayor, elected last spring, told a Hilton Tucson El Conquistador gathering of 351 people last Thursday.
In reference to the town council, Hiremath said "my role as mayor is to lead this team with that same respect. Respect for each other; respect for town staff; and respect for the residents of our community. I assure you that I take this role very seriously and that I pledge my leadership on behalf of Oro Valley."
Here's Hiremath's comment from the June 1, 2011 council meeting, referring to the seniors and disabled among us that require the services rendered by the Coyote Run Bus.
"All we're doing by keeping Coyote Run is fostering Oro Valley's elitist mentality."
This statement is not only hypocritical, it's downright despicable.
Shame on you, Dr. Hiremath!
