Read the Explorer's one-sided "no police study" needed piece titled: "OV Police Study Not A Dead Issue." First of all, the study is not a study of the police. It is a study of the operations of the Police Department and its budget. Second, the study will never see the light of day as long as Mayor Hiremath, and Council Member Waters, Snider and Hornat are on council. They are the majority. They were endorsed for their positions by the police associations. They will never vote for this study.

This from an email message from one of our bloggers regarding Oro Valley's Town Council rejecting any stiffeing of fines for sign code violations:
"Part of the problem is the council approved some latitude in temporary signage because of the bad economy. It will expire in Feb or March 2013. Therefore, violations have no teeth for enforcement. Although Bill (Garner) and Mike (Zinkin) wanted some tough enforcement, the rest of the council denied it last night. The DIS department even left Bill and Mike hung out to dry by backing off the problem that DIS brought up in the first place."

Though most on the Oro Valley Town Council rubber stamp TREO's quarterly reports, those on the Tucson City Council don't. According to a repotrt in the Daily Star, Tucson councilmen Richard Fimbres and Steve Kozachik asked [TREO President Joe] Snell to clarify the [jobs] numbers and provide specific examples of the jobs created. Snell responded that the numbers don't reflect actual jobs, but are projections based on the numbers given to TREO by the companies it works with." It seems like its always "smoke and mirrors" when it comes to TREO. (Source: Arizona Daily Star)
