[Re: “Improvement projects wait for funding] I’m sick of the dog and pony show and the cart before the horse. The same garbage again and again.

Allow massive development without paying for infrastructure and then float another bond issue to pay for the so-called improvements. While hobbling traffic, crowding schools and taxing literally and figuratively in ever regard but those whom insert themselves into the community without paying for it’s true costs.

City council people and the mayor constantly say we must allow the development, and Arizona state law says that only a small percentage or dollar amount may be added to the developers cost. It is not near the dollars needed.

The simply solution is to not allow deviations and reductions to space requirements of planned area developments or allow density above them. And charge an increase in building permits for developments to fund this — all very legal.

Always the nice to have, never fully funding it. Yeah, I’m sure the fire station, if built, staff and equipment we now have to fund that. It doesn’t end.

Council Mayor and transplants from places like California must realize nothing is free, and the bond issues are not unlimited pots of money.

Lastly live within our means. No increased taxes.
