First look at the Bonds

While the September Primary is the hot election to talk about, there is also a November General Election looming on the horizon. Nationally, we'll be selecting a new President. In Arizona, we'll be dealing with several statewide races, ballot propositions, and local legislative races. Also locally in Mesa, we'll be voting on the slum landlord law and two bonds.

Gary Nelson has the first look at the bonds, starting with the fire station portion of the public safety bond. I would bet, since he took such a limited view in this story, that its going to be part of a longer term series of stories. Clearly, the need is there, and I'd expect it won't be long before we hear more people telling this story. It will be interesting to see if this becomes a rehash of the property tax debate from a few years ago, or if people are more willing to support bond proposals for specific projects.

In the meantime, if you want to learn more about the bonds for yourself, the City has a page set up that has all the details.
