Your Money, Your Land, YOUR right to VOTE on them.
If you are not a student of history, you may not understand the reference. Via Wikipedia: The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, about the use of a lie so “colossal” that no one would believe that someone “could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.” Not for a moment would we suggest […]
Such a great headline. Mr. Dougherty had a way with words. Don’t know Mr. Dougherty? He was a writer for Phoenix New Times. Like all great quotes it requires context. So, let’s start there….. Want to throw the fear of God into Phoenix elected officials, downtown business tycoons and their self-serving cheerleaders at the […]
Inconsistent. Not a term that would be desirable for a Town Council candidate. It would appear that it is inconsistent for a potential elected representative to ask for your vote to elect them, and then suggest that your same vote not be part of the decision-making process.

To our knowledge no one has provided an explanation on their decision to oppose the initiatives. Generally the rational to opposing them leans towards one of three possibilities. Lets look at them?

Mr. Otis was very smart. No, no, not that “Mr. Otis.” Although a little tenderness never hurt and might be a good thing in today’s political climate? As the holiday weekend comes to an end, it is time to ramp up the election process. As of today (July 8th, 2018) There are fifty-two days until […]
Two candidates are running for Mayor. The incumbent, Mayor Swartwood, and the challenger, Mr. Tom Morrissey. On the issue of the propositions Mr. Swartwood is quoted in a recent Roundup article as saying: “Both propositions are ill-conceived and detrimental to the town.” Mr. Morrissey? “What transparency means to me is that most of […]
Time to revisit a “Combination Bond” with a little input from the Town Manager. Oftentimes people will ask about the debt initiative, specifically, the zeroing in on a “Combination Bond.” We can explain that. Before Transparent Payson was formed as a group, a fair amount of research went into an underlying proposal before the […]
Sometimes it can be hard to describe. As part of placing the measures on the ballot, we have submitted “Persuasive Arguments” for the “Publicity Pamphlet” that is mailed to voters prior to the election.
