< Simply to put it in front of your eyes:
There are million$ of dollar$ up-for-grab$ and action to be taken - after hearing and listening to -public discussion - to approve next year's almost $2-Billion Dollar City Budget.
What's the problem? Most of the time the public is not either involved, informed or engaged in our elected government.
________________________________________________________________________
Just open your eyes and take the time ...Believe me, it takes a lot of time and a lot of hard work to get the information we need as informed citizens and taxpayers living here in Mesa.
Nobody ever said it's easy . . .
Sad to say, but most people don't even know what City Council district they live in or who has been elected to serve their interests by listening to people. If your district representatives do not communicate with you, call them up and talk. It's their job and they get paid to do. If you don't communicate your informed opinions, they will listen to other special interests.

If you don't regularly pay attention to what the City Council, or the Planning & Zoning Board, and what other appointed committees are doing, you are handicapped as a citizen with duties when you choose to get "left in the dark"...Democracy dies in darkness
