Marana Sucks- Citizen engagement

On their website they encourage citizen engagement "The Marana Town Council, through its Strategic Plan, believes that civic engagement is a critical component of the Town’s development." This is a joke..... When fully engaged as the citizens were for two development proposals, we were ignored and both the Planning Commission and the Council voted for these abominations in favor of the developer unanimously.

So the one with money has  more concern of the government,  than almost total opposition by the neighborhood.There is nothing more frustrating than the feeling of a futile attempt to change the mind of  a blind politician. Let me hypothetically clarify the word blind, uncaring, mind made up, possibly corrupt, has a interest and did not disclose to the public.

The other day they put up a site called Marana 365 a community forum to get comments on different items of interest. Well one was the Strategic Plan update. Of course I was the first to place my comments on the site. Basically stating why bother, you do not follow the current plan. Most specifically the Twin Peaks corridor is LOW DENSITY HOUSING with R-36 ZONING on the plan. It took no time at all for the current to be changed by  an override for two developers.

Well of course they removed my remarks as they did for my comments on the hiring of more bureaucrats, most specifically an Deputy Town Manager. GONE before they even could be read.

Lets speak of the Deputy Town Manager, the other night I attended the council meeting and the Town Manager sat on the Dias, I am not sure he even spoke a word the whole time I was there, The Mayor controlled everything.

So what does he do if anything and why do we need a Deputy Manager???? mo money mo money mo money !!!!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP MARANA
