November Ballot shaping up

Looks like the slum inspection ordinance is going to be on the ballot in November. It will be interesting to see how it does with so many people turning out to vote for President. My guess is that it will all depend on how the issue is phrased.

So, now, it looks like we will have one or more bond issues with a property tax as well as this slum inspection ordinace on a fairly hefty ballot that will include the President, members of the Corporation Commission, legislators, countless statewide propositions including ones on immigration and property taxes. I wonder how many people will make it all the way to the end.

From the failure of school bonds across the Valley last year, to a proposed major transportation plan funding increase, I certainly hope that Mesa is looking for ways to make sure that these critical services are able to survive another potential voter tax revolt.
