There are two lies that are circulating among the Oro Valley Police Department and its auxiliary force. These are lies calculated to keep the men and women who protect us, the rank and file, from voting for Oro Valley Town Council candidates who actually care about them.
Here are the two lies:
"Mike Zinkin plans to outsource the Oro Valley Police Department."
"Mark Napier is going to severely cut the Police Department and take away all the take home cars."
Both of these are lies. Lies, I tell you.
I have spoken at length with both Mike and Mark. At no time has either one ever said that they would do what is claimed. The only position Mike has spoken of is that he believes that the town should undertake a management study of the Police Department, as it has done for most other departments. Mark has stated to me and at the two forums that he is not opposed to a management study if it can be demonstrated that there is a need for such. Both of these positions are, to me, quite reasonable.
Neither Mike nor Mark ever made the statements above.

So, you ask, who is spreading these rumors? Could it be Solomon? Could it be Nacaroti? Could it be their alter-egos, Council Member Mary Snider and Council Member Joe Hornat? Would these people stoop so low as to lie in order to be elected or, in Snider and Hornat's case, get their candidates elected?
Of what are they so afraid? Why are they so desperate?
