Waters Recall Makes National News The national publication "Daily Caller" has reported that Oro Valley Council Member Lou Waters' is involved in a recall election. The article is entitled: "Former CNN Anchor Involved In A Sticky Recall Election In Filthy Rich Tucson Suburb."
Imagine. Oro Valley-a filthy rich suburb!
The highlights the following about Waters:
- "The Oro Valley government website has an impressive sounding but really poorly written bio on him."
- "But it seems poor Lou isn’t so enthralled with the state of the journalism industry"
- "As much as Waters claims to be a big proponent of getting the facts, revealing basics on himself is another story. In a bio for the Arizona Daily Star, he refused to reveal his age. “Would not disclose,” reads the age line. A 2014 profile, however, in Tucson Local Media lists his age as 75.

Golf Course Signs Apply
One of our readers wrote to us. The reader questioned the restrictive nature of the signs telling people to stay off the golf course. The reader stated this it is a public course owned by the community and that it should be available to all.
According to Town Manager Caton: ""It is now publically owned; however, access is restricted for the intended use. For example, if I visit the Aquatic Center, I have to pay and I can’t ride my skate board around the pool deck. Also, the signage is intended to prevent accidents. A golf course, unless a special event is occurring, is for golf. If someone randomly walks onto the course, then they could get hit by a golf ball."
