TREO: Fleeces, Flails ... But Pays Well

--- TREO fleeces town governments for funding then produces little results. Its head, Joe Snell, earns more than $300,000 for doing "absolutely nothing". What a great job Joe has.  Lots of money, all of which comes from local governments. No benchmark results for which to be held accountable.

Its not just us that thinks this. Read an analysis of TREO by "Wake Up Tucson's" Higgens and DeSimone.

Please remind us. Why does Oro Valley contribute to this organization?

My first thought is that The Town (Council) does not wish to miss out on availabile opportunities ....ummmmm

And then second thought is....political progression...for each of them...they do not individually wish to be thought of as "nay sayers"

Remember, Illinois has been brought here (Hornat) and they always move up

TREO is that pie in the sky stuff...we are fighting for a village here,--Oro Valley

I hope the Town Council will NOT be providing any more money to the TREO scam.

When is the next vote on this travesty?

Define "scam". This company was built by Joe Snell. It does good for the community and quite frankly allows O.V. and surrounding to excel.

This company was built by this Joe Snell. It does great for city.

My belief, having lived in many towns of different sizes, as well as my experience (age), is that unless YOU are ready to build a successful company that contributes directly to the success and support of the community you live in, the ones that surround you, the schools you send your children to, the businesses you frequent - unless YOU are ready to build that sort of successful company as Mr. Snell has done - I suggest you sit back and keep your comments to yourselves.

How can you negate the progress this TREO has made?

Sounds like you are in it for yourselves, and certainly not "the village".
