He mentioned it at least three times during last night's council meeting. He also appears to think that this Web site exists to bash the council. Just shows you the limits of his ability to see the truth when it's right in front of his face. To Wondering: It appears the mayor took great offense to you calling him an S.O.B. here.

The only way to positive tax revenue growth is diligently working toward attracting business and industry. It is important to note that this does not include mega-malls and big-box retailers which are parasitic. Make the most of the industrial park. Capitalize on the fact that you have a nice airport in town. You don't need a degree in municipal planning to know that residential development is a negative tax generator when all costs are considered. Been there, done that...trying to leave it behind.

However, Mr. Buddinski has always reminded me of the villain from the old westerns. He wears his white hat in disguise. Watch him closely and never let him feel as if he is trusted. Trust and respect is what Mr. Buddinski craves, yet does not deserve. All this fact finding really gets under his skin. More vittles for ponderin'... This cowgirl wonders how much Mr. Buddinski's daughter stands to profit from peddling mortgages to new property owners at the new Wickenburg Ant Hill...er Country Club. Y'all take care now. Watch yer backs. Ol' Buddinski's a serpent. Now I wouldn’t stoop to callin’ anyone a SOB. However, Mr. Buddinski has always reminded me of the villain from the old westerns.

Watch him closely and never let him feel as if he is trusted. Trust and respect is what Mr. Buddinski craves, yet does not deserve. All this fact finding really gets under his skin.

More vittles for ponderin’…

This cowgirl wonders how much Mr. Buddinski’s daughter stands to profit from peddling mortgages to new property owners at the new Wickenburg Ant Hill…er Country Club.

Y’all take care now. Watch yer backs. Ol’ Buddinski’s a serpent.

But overruling Proposition 421 which the residents already voted on and then overruling the current referendum seems pretty extreme. I was wondering, since town residents have said no to the high density housing not once but twice why the town has not focused on doing something that I’m sure the residents would appreciate like developing a strong retail or commercial sector for the town. Make Wickenburg a destination. There are towns that do not have big box stores that are a destination. There are a dozen towns in the vicinity of Wickenburg whose residents would add to the town’s revenues. Bring commercial business into town, like a call center, adding business to the town would be great for the tax base for the town. Mr. Mayor could please explain why we need to have this high density housing development? I think the residents of Wickenburg deserve an explanation. “Follow the money”
