Will the Amphi School District convert its schools to charter schools? Vail is. Here's why: More money in the short run from the State. (Source) Generally, one is always best to "follow the money" when trying to figure out why something is being promoted.---

Fry's (Oracle and First) is at it again.

| Another Massive Fry's Display |
More clutter in front of their store, creating a safety hazard. This is a picture from July 1, courtesy of Oro Valley resident Don Bristow.
Council Member Lou Waters, several months back, had visited this store. After his visit, things cleared up a bit. Is it time for him to visit again?
Thing is: Fry's is probably paid a placement fee to display this stuff by the vendor. So, the more stuff they can cram in the ramada area, the more bucks they get.
What does Oro Valley get?

More on the graded lot on the northwest corner of Narana and LaCanada. This from Oro Valley Constituent Services Coordinator Chris Cornelison:
"Construction restoration and landscape assurances were required and provided for this project. As a result, a Grading Plan and Native Plant Preservation Plan were reviewed and approved by Town staff prior to construction activity occurring on the property. These plans require the property owner to stabilize the site in order to mitigate soil erosion, which entails hydro-seeding and the installation of vegetation. The Town will utilize Section 27.9 Grading of the Zoning Code, specifically subsection C. Protective Cover and Dust Control."In other words, the lot will not be left "open."

The Golder Ranch Fire Department has been flooded with calls from folks who have been injured by the massive hazards at a local grocery store.

Our self-appointed local story display constable is out on the prowl again.
One would think that as you age you could find something more productive to do with your life.
I need a garden guard to stop critters from destroying my crops.
The Other Don...with a life.:-)
Richard...."What does Oro Valley get?" Sales Tax.
OVOT:
Who is the self-appointed local store display constable? How do you know that?
Oro Valley gets no Sales Tax from bottled water and sport drinks.
Cares....The photo was provided by Don Bristow. Do I need to go farther???
But these things do attract customers who spend money on taxable items.
PLEASE stop being less than intelligent with your replys. It's unbecoming to you.
I see. So we need to showcase non-taxable items outside in order to draw customers INSIDE to buy the taxable items. That's funny because it implies that if there were no items outside, customers would have NO IDEA of what kind of merchandise is being sold INSIDE. Oh, look! A grocery store. I wonder what they sell.
