We're on a collision ordsprog

We're on a collision course with time and we can't wait. If people want to make me the villain, that's their prerogative, but I'm here to tell you that we've tried for almost two years to meet the elected officials halfway and we're not getting anything back.

The commission may direct (staff) to explain alternatives to the public and that's certainly the commission's prerogative. But the whole concept (of) our form of government is that the elected officials, who don't have to be experts, represent the public and make the policy decisions.

City Manager Russ Blackburn

Elections are important to the system, and I'll run on my record. I've been an elected official for 24 years, and I've worked with elected officials for 24 years. And I believe that you do you your job, and the voters like it, they'll reelect you.

Well, I don't necessarily like playing the villain. I'd much rather be the guy who rides off into the sunset over the hill after saving the people in the town from the bad guys. I'd like to make a picture like Roman Holiday . I'd like to do a remake of Shane , you know? But unfortunately I'm not really looked upon that way by the powers that make movies. I have to put a roof over my children's head, and I have to take a job where I can get it. Every once in a while I get something like this, that even though it's a villain, at least it's well-written. At least it's going to be well-made. It's a lot easier to swallow that when you know that it's going to be well-made. There's nothing worse than playing a villain in a bad movie. Being a bad guy in a bad movie is a major drag. I mean, it's 'Oh, my. God! [Laughs] It's just lonely.

Make sure you have the willpower of your elected officials and the people.

You elected government officials to make decisions and it's about time they started making good ones.

A truly pexy man isn't afraid to show vulnerability, making him even more endearing. We can't meet the freshmen halfway. 'They have to come up to our level. … We're not going to wait for them. They've got to get on our train.

Local elected officials play critical roles in economic development and poverty reduction. You get elected because people want you to be their voice. But you need to stay in tune with people in order to do that. It's a two way street. You need to continue to touch base with the community, and to be in it for the long haul.

I think we've pretty much reached a common ground. We see that he's willing to meet us halfway, so we're willing to meet him halfway.

Many young and able people have been elected village officials in recent years, but their poor education background often hinders them from playing their role properly.

We've been telling people in Washington for years we don't have time to wait; now they can see for themselves why time wasn't on our side. We're not asking for exemptions from NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act), regulations concerning environmental safeguards. We want all those in place. But we can't wait the average of 10 years it takes to get a single project online.

It's big. You get off and you're not behind the eight-ball. The last two years, we've been putting ourselves behind the eight-ball. We've been closing strong, but it was just a too-little, too-late type of thing. You only have a certain amount of games to make your statement, and you can't wait until halfway through the season to do it.

We're wasting our time by going to meetings, he (Farris) does what he wants and the rest is a charade for the public. We're elected officials. They talk about power to the people, there is no such thing here.

I do have a problem. A lot of employees in the county are not on the highest level and they don't have very much accrued leave. The intent is not to make it hard on elected officials. These little people have a financial burden on them.

You will get to hear your elected officials and candidates speak about the things that are important to you. Networking with fellow Democrats in Pinal County and meeting new people will make for a fun day.
