We've often wondered why Mayors of Oro Valley give an Annual "State of the Town" Speech at a paid fundraiser for the Northern Pima County Chamber of Commerce. Our Mayors never present this speech for free to their constituents. In fact, historically, one can not find a video of the speech or written remarks available to us, the constituents.
For $50, you can attend the event, which is Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort.
Unless you do so, you will be forced to read about his remarks as reported by newspapers.
We believe that the Mayor should present his remarks in Council Chambers for all to hear.
We call on Mayor Hiremath: Please make your remarks available to all of us... in person and in writing. After all, we're the ones to whom you are accountable.
