Ms. Trasoff
Ms. Trasoff has announced she wants to selectively revise the Tucson Land Use Code.
Bully for her.
But it is time to COMPLETELY revamp the antiquated Tucson Land Use Code and not perform some selected minor elective surgery. Ms Trasoff you are wrong – again!
A total revamp of the code is what is needed to create a brighter future in Tucson. But revamping the code will be a dangerous task for her to accomplish and the reason Trasoff and Company do not wish to pursue this endeavor is because their neighborhood special interest group allies do not want this to happen.
These are the same folks who help elect Trasoff and her Democrat crew along with BIG LABOR. That is why she has been so unwilling to make any substantive changes to happen and only reluctantly suggests some tinkering with the code.
Is it in Tucson’s best interests to continue to elect council members who are beholden to special interest radical neighborhood groups and BIG LABOR who lead our City Council around the nose on issues which are so important to ALL Tucson?
Rio Nuevo was to be Ms. Trasoff’s jumping off point to run for mayor of Tucson.
She had hoped for success with the project and so did each of us who also wanted there to be a vibrant downtown. That is why local community leaders and myself worked so hard and sacrificed our personal reputations at the Arizona Legislature to expand the TIF only to be embarrassed by her and the council.
Trasoff, the rest of the council and her supporters squandered the most positive business cycle in half a century flopping around like a fish from one failed concept after another.
Further, Ms. Trasoff sanctioned selling $80,000,000+ of bonds at the worst possible time in an effort to threaten the Legislature against cutting off the TIF expansion.
When the bonds were sold Trasoff said this was one the greatest developments for Rio Nuevo. Trasoff says she “owns” Rio Nuevo. If she does then let her sink with this stinker.
This week Ms. Trasoff will announce she plans to seek re election. Her bid MUST be rejected. She is an amateur who is in charge of millions of our dollars and while she would believe our tax dollars have been well spent she and her friends are delusional.

Tell me where to pick up the campaign signs and bumper stickers, and I’ll be there. I’ll knock on doors, make phone calls, write letters. I’ll blog, talk to my neighbors, dress up my dog in a Bruce Ash for City Council sweater. I’ll hawk petitions, blog some more, give money, and put a sign in my yard. I’ll drive the infirm to the polls on Election Day. I’ll ask my relatives to donate money, knock on some more doors, and hold a big sign at the corner of Speedway and Country Club.
Nice words from Bruce who represents LOCAL FAT CATS.
Actually Biz Observer…..I really just represent myself and probably folks like you who have lived in Tucson a long time ( me–all my life) and who hate to see what has been happening to our way of life here in Tucson.
Let me ask you….Are we safer today than 3 years ago? Are we running the city any smarter? Did the Trasoff get rid of the trash fee? Is Rio Nuevo anywhere close to getting started much less completed? Are small businesses getting a fair shake at city Hall? Is the city being run with any transparency? Any new employers re located to Tucson so our kids maybe would want to stay here and make a decent living?
What has happened to Spring Training? The Gem Show? Are you satisfied with either of those also? The list is endless.
I don’t think change can wait any longer and I am looking forward to candidates who will put Tucson and their neighbors first before their next election ( it’s a crappy job anyway )
