Pima county has been controlled by the same group of county supervisors for over 20 years now, we have several issues in Pima county including the condition of the roads, the secret deals which go too far such as World View and Monsanto. Finally, we have the highest debt of any county in the state and the highest taxes.

In addition to overseeing the delivery of a host of municipal services, from roads to parks and libraries and law enforcement, board members also are responsible for approving the county budget.
Elected to four-year terms, board members also set the amount of taxes to be levied."

Issues
Administrator Huckelberry Contract
Jump to: Monsanto | Road Condition | World View | I-11 & Sonoran Corridor | Transparency & OpennessThe existing board of supervisors approved a raise for the county administrator Chuck Huckelberry raising his base pay to an astounding $288,000/year - increasing his total compensation to $374,000 annually. Making Huckelberry the 2nd highest paid county administrator in the country. Administrator Huckelberry has been in his role since 1993 and, during his watch, Pima county has been going in the wrong direction - in fact we are known as the 5th poorest metropolitan area in the country.

With the Board of Supervisor meetings being held at 9am the first and third Tuesday of every month, many people are not able to attend or even watch the live stream of the meetings.
Currently Pima County does not maintain a library of the meeting videos. However, Supervisor Miller does post videos on her Youtube channel.
