A legal dispute between the City of Tucson and the State of Arizona over affordable housing is still taking place.
TUCSON, Ariz. — "To put out such a complaint, a 1487 complaint when in fact the City of Tucson is trying to house more individuals. So, I thought it was very heartless and cold," Romero explained.
Romero says they have plans to meet with the newly elected Attorney General Kris Mayes, to discuss a hopeful reconsideration of Brnovich's call on the 1487 complaint. In the meantime, Romero says to protect the state-shared revenue, the ordinance will not be in effect. "Without even looking at their background, many people were being denied for the only reason of them having vouchers and that's why the source of income protection is important for Tucsonans," Romero said.
