Surprise, AZ News blog

I said working together because not all of the things done by this council has been bad, with proper leadership a lot of our problems would not have occurred, having had a mayor with a barn yard mentality has in my belief set us years behind.

Who ever becomes the next Mayor of Surprise must be hard nosed and a strong leader to keep this ship from sinking. Because nothing is norm about this city, remember when I asked the council if the city had 2 to 3 hundred million in the bank, to this day I have never received an answer. If this is true which I believe is, why have they sold bonds on which they will pay over 50 Million in interest.

Go to my website (surpriseaznews.com) and see what has happened in Chino Valley since they got a new town manager in 2003. This will happen to us if we don’t have a labor efficiency report before we hire employees, a five-year growth report that we all understand and where and how our money is being moved around.

Management and staff moves from city to city, state to state, even to the private sector and sometimes not living in the city that employs them, with this in mind do they have the same loyalty to the city as we do?

As always, Bob Vukanovich
