Why invest in drip irrigation and other conservation measures, when no one is stopping you?Re: the Dec. 16 article “Ducey ceases border barrier construction.”

Let’s not waste more time. There are already sufficient renewable energy technologies which yield output many more times than the total energy needed to produce it.

The half-cent sales tax to fund street improvement, where is the money being spent? How long do we have to wait before road repair gets started? Every place I drive my vehicle the roads in the city are in very poor condition and it’s getting worse. Personally, I do not see anyone working to repair the roads I drive on. The poorly maintained roadways in the City of Tucson cause accidents since they create an enormous hazard to drivers.
