| Improve intergovernmental relationships, increase cooperation, and adopt a more regional outlook |
| |
| | "There is too much politics between jurisdictions. All are fighting over resources and tax base. Can't we all get along and follow a common vision?" |
| | "Tucson, the city limits, is only a small part of our metropolitan whole. We need to work together--the city and the unincorporated county--to keep this a great place to live. Our city and county govts. are distressingly unfunctional." |
| | "The city and county need to work as one to create a vibrant, active community where people and businesses actually want to move back into the city's center." |
| | "There is no regional vision. All jurisdictions seem to work independently and against each other on major issues." |
| | "We have two forces trying to govern that seem to be opposing forces." |
| | "Tucson is really five incorporated cities (Tucson, South Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley & Sahuarita) and a large area that is unincorporated Pima County. The time, effort and money spent either duplicating efforts and/or 'fighting' over issues is wasteful. Stronger regional cooperation is essential." |
| | "Merge city and county governments." |
| | "Sheriff and TPD, PPC Parks and Rec and COT Parks and Rec. Why? Combine more government agencies!" |
| | "As a group of geographically proximate cities, we all seem to bash each other, compare ourselves to each other, and generally promote an us versus them attitude that does not foster a cooperative environment." |
| | "The infighting between local governments is creating a lack of opportunities to recruit businesses and create new jobs for the future of the community." |
| | "Better regional cooperation and sharing of power, resources, information and personnel among the governments - not be afraid to seek private partners to accomplish projects" |
