'We need public servants who focus on facts, roll up their sleeves to take action, and join with the entire community to make true and lasting progress. We need Council Member Lane Santa Cruz.'
Re: the June 25 article “Campaign contributions become hot topic in Tucson City Council race.”Tucson can’t afford politicians obsessed with “optics.” The June 25 article regarding the Ward 1 City Council democratic primary race reveals that Council Member Lane Santa Cruz’s opponent grasps at anything serving his image and campaign, betraying the serious needs of our community. Council Member Kozachik admits in the article that the contributions issue comes down to “optics”.
People are also reading… He then offers as a solution to homelessness hot button slogans like “rent control”. I’m a proponent of rent control so it even resonates with me, until the truth of the matter is made clear. Rent control is banned in Arizona by state law; action belongs at the state legislature and may require years of expensive lawsuits. Yet Ortega puts it out there in a City Council election as if he could get it done—good optics. Empty spin.
