The following is from an email message we received:
""Streetcar Named Tucson's Fiasco"" "Interesting piece in today's Az Star about Strretcar delays, and consultants fees. It seems our former Mayor Loomis will be paid almost $400,000 for his consulting work!! How is this possible, why are the citizens of Tucson Metro so apathetic. Don't we all realize the money for these consultants come right out of our pockets?? This Streetcar situation is disgusting, and hopefully we will have answers as to how this situation got so out of control."

This is from another email message we received:
""We are house hunting in AZ. Property taxes in OV are double what the property tax is in Scottsdale - Desert Mountain. Why is this? It certainly impacts our thouight process on where to seriously house hunt. Further, it really hurts current OV property owners who are hoping to sell to out of state retirees. I note OV is hoping to impose a property tax over and above the county's , is this true? If so, how much more?"
We informed the writer that Oro Valley does not have a property tax.
Let's hope it stays that way forever.

The reason the property taxes in Pima County are so high is because of mismanagement, graft and out right theft of tax payer dollars.
The town of Oro Valley does not appear to be afflicted with such problems.
But the citizen must remain involved or human nature will its natural, greedy course.
Nombe.....I am happy to see that you agree that Oro Valley is not mismanaged.
Richard....The obvious answer to the tax inquiry is that life is twice as good here as in the Phoenix metro area. :-)
