Security technology maker Axon was willing to make a deal with the Scottsdale City Council over the number of apartments and condominiums it intends to build as part of it’s new world headquarters campus but pulled out of discussions Monday because of the council’s “toxic” inner workings, Axon President Josh Isner said.
Company officials were prepared to reduce the number of living units built from 1,895 to 1,700 (850 apartments and 850 condominiums), but ultimately decided that it would not improve relations because vice mayor Jan Dubauskas and council members Barry Graham and Kathy Littlefield.
He predicted the three would commit “political terrorism” by continually crusading against Axon, so there was no value in trying to reach a compromise.
