| Reduce wastefulness in government and improve overall effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability |
| |
| | "With the budget problems, and the waste we hear about the Rio Nuevo project, the local government needs to step up to the plate and be financially and socially responsible, and service oriented and accountable to the citizens of Tucson." |
| | "There are pot holes, medians that aren't maintained, schools that can't afford textbooks ... yet the city spends millions on a rattlesnake bridge, a trolley car to nowhere, practically free rent to art groups and Rio Nuevo plans (where has all that money gone?)" |
| | "Portland OR has no city or state sales tax, yet manages to get all the great things (from public transit to open space) that Tucson claims they want, but want to charge via tax to get. This ties back into lack of accountability with the funds." |
| | "Right now the elected leaders have no vision for the future of the community. The wrangling over downtown development and the waste of taxpayer dollars tells me there is no one in charge. They all have their fiefdom and will do nearly all to protect same." |
| | "Managing money well help in all areas of our city." |
| | "Our local elected officials have spent the last 30 years turning Tucson into a fiscal nightmare. Too much money is spent on the wrong priorities and too little is focused on the core services which should be its No. 1 focus." |
| | "I�d like to see more efficient and effective government for the common good - real info, real people, real problems, real solutions." |
| | "Our city government is dysfunctional for reasons that go beyond personalities and relate to the very structure of government." |
| | "Would like to see the street car come, and see how it all links downtown together. The Rio Nuevo hotel outcome is disappointing. We should have had something built by now. The inability of the City to get things done, and the amount of wasted millions, is beyond frustrating and disappointing." |
| | "The City system seems overly cumbersome and ineffective. Restricts ability to get projects done, wastes tax revenues, has a narrow vision and talks more than does." |
| | "I support less fraud and more agency transparency in government." |
