A Sonoran Truth Editorial, 12.13.13.
While we’ve changed our look, we continue to be vexed by the tripe from Town Hall and the scum spewing from the Sonoran News.
Let’s start with Open Space. Big Mouth Mohr and Loony La Mar are pushing the SS recall agenda regarding Open Space. Somehow Mohr thinks coming up with $105,000 is like a down payment and that Creekers are entitled to buy 4,000 acres from the State Land Department. We don’t know what prescriptions Hani Saba is filling for the Big Mouth or the Loon, but we wish they would stop wasting the Town’s time on their spin doctor routine.
The 4,000 acres is not for sale. When it goes up for sale, the State Land Department will have an auction. If George Johnson wants to make a bid, he can do so. If Angelo Mozilo wants to make a bid, he can do so. If Creekers, want to make a bid, then we can all agree to tax ourselves like we did for Spur Cross. But we are not entitled to it. State land sale revenues pay for education in Arizona since 1912. The State Land Department is obligated to obtain the highest price for its properties. Period.
We distinguish between the desire to obtain open space and property rights. We love the idea of more open space, but not at the expense of property rights. Francia claims that Cave Creek politics are all about open space. He’s reading his lines scripted by the SS.
According to the SS, property rights are secondary to community interests. If you have any doubt, ask the Creekers living around Wal Mart. The prior SS council with cabin boy Usama, ran the town into debt by confiscating the private Cave Creek water company through eminent domain. That acquisition was so costly, the only way to keep the town afloat was to say YES to everything Wal Mart wanted to obtain sales tax revenue. Cave Creek—the Town Heil Hoeppner “founded’ to stop Bob Kite from building a grocery store welcomed Wal Mart with open arms. Hypocrites.
Of course, ITM Rodney Glassman wants to take credit for raising our bond rating but Glassman had nothing to do with it. Our bond rating is all about Wal Mart—mainstream ugly America. This is what McGuire, Bunch, and Francia did along with the loony LaMar who now poses as a horseman.
Pity the new Town Manager who has to traverse this minefield. We think all three candidates are qualified. Of course the SS would rather have someone already in their camp like Dyrek or Cordwell, neither of whom have the character or qualifications to run a town, much less their current employ. It’s common knowledge that Dyrek rewrote Town Minutes for the SS. And Cordwell is a nut job. He comes across as kind, sincere, and acts as if he’s your friend, but Ian selectively enforced Town ordinances to satisfy the SS. He has no self-esteem, a eunuch doing Don’s bidding.
Bentley blabbers about Glassman’s expense account but fails to compare it with Usama giving his son the Town’s SUV and credit card to have a wild weekend in Las Vegas. His son who was disbarred and arrested for drug use. Contrast Usama’s antics to Rodney buying a cup of coffee or a lunch. According to Bentley Rodney is living high on the hog. What about Usama’s pork feasting? So much for being a good Muslim. Using the Town’s credit card for a trip to Vegas is plain and simple stealing. Were this Saudi Arabia, Usama would be missing a hand.
