An Open Forum to Discuss Democracy and the Issues.

Transparent Payson Board Members will speak about voters’ rights, the current issues facing Propositions 401 and 402, and the pending litigation at the Conservative Coalition of Arizona (CCAZ) meeting.   The CCAZ is comprised of independent and conservative-minded citizens advocating for constitutional principles.  Visit their website to learn more about the Conservative Coalition of Arizona (CCAZ).

Conservative Coalition of Arizona (CCAZ)Transparent Payson is nonpartisan/bipartisan with no party affiliation or hidden agenda.  We believe in Payson, Arizona, and its future.   We support growth that will better serve all its citizens while remaining financially sound.  As a 527 nonprofit PAC, we were responsible for successfully enacting Propositions 401 and 402 in 2018.   A short history of our group can be found here.

The meeting is Thursday, September 21st, 2023, at Tiny’s Restaurant, 600 E. Highway 260 in Payson.  Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and as always, no-host food and drink are available at Tiny’s.  The program starts at 6:00 p.m.. To learn more about CCAZ, their email is CCAZGila@Gmail.com

In addition to the local issues, we hope to discuss democracy and the importance of it.   If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the United States, it is easy to take democracy for granted.  Democracy is fundamental to Western governments.  Propositions 401 and 402 are a matter of debate at the local level.  We hope that all who are against or in favor of them can agree that democracy and voter rights are essential.   That requires we discuss democracy.  You can learn more about the importance of democracy in this post.

Why Democracy Matters

Voting at the local level is much more than just “who gets elected.”  It is “what gets spent.”  Are you willing to let others make that choice?  We should discuss democracy.

de Tocqueville stated:

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

Your money requires your vote.

Please get in touch with us to have us speak to your group.  Thank you.

    • Trail update and appearance on KMOG
      The trial was completed last Friday, the 19th.  Transparent Payson has always viewed the matter as a question of law, which results in a slightly different trial than many may be familiar with in a civil setting. There was no discovery, no experts, […]
    • Trial is scheduled for April 19th at 1:30
      We can use your continued support.  Please donate. To finance the Town’s list of projects Town Council increased the TPT/Sales tax.  That tax becomes effective on May 1st.  The rate will be 10.48%.  Some people tithe.  The TPT/ Sales tax rate […]
    • A Court Date Has Been Set With the Town of Payson.
      Despite reports in “newspapers” and statements from pundits, including local elected officials, asserting otherwise, the case of Transparent Payson vs. The Town of Payson has not been resolved.  A court date has been set for a bench […]
    • Donation fun and Varxity resolution.
      Varxity was part of the tri-party agreement with the Town of Payson (TOP) for the Recreation Center/Hockey Rinks/Pool.  After 401 and 402 passed, the TOP withdrew from the agreement.  There may have been a mixup on the signatures required to make it […]
    • Your money, NOT your vote.
      Thank you, KMOG and former Payson Mayor Kenneth Murphy, for the opportunity to discuss the issues with current Mayor Higgins on the KMOG forum on December 29th.  We always appreciate the opportunity to be part of the KMOG discussion.  It was a great […]
    • Did the Mayor call voters a “mob?”
      A quick year-end update.  We are very hopeful that everyone has a wonderful holiday season. The court case against the Town moves at a glacial pace.  The last court hearing was November 30th.  There is little to report on that front.  That sounds […]
