After four years, Phoenix has cut ties with a law firm that lobbied on the city’s behalf at the state Legislature. The politics involving former Gov. Jan Brewer played a role in the votes of at least two councilmembers.

Many roll-call votes at Phoenix City Council meetings are straightforward, but when they involve contracts with consultants and lobbyists, the roll call typically slows as Councilmen Jim Waring and Sal DiCiccio voice their ongoing opposition to such deals. That’s what happened on Dec. 14.

Brewer works as a consultant for the firm and that’s why Vice Mayor Kate Gallego voted against the deal.

“Jan Brewer has been very involved with the campaign of Donald Trump and defended statements that he made that I found very objectionable,” she said.

Phoenix is such a tax and spend city with democrats involved. I really hope Sal DiCiccio runs for mayor but the way things are going, this city is very liberal and he would lose.

If there is something I would love to see investigated it is all of the taxes and fees on my AZ Public Service bills. Those amount to approximately 66% if of my monthly electric bill.

“Phoenix is such a tax and spend city with democrats involved.”

Just another RAT-Run $hit hole city joining the ranks of the rest in our country. Breaking the RAT hold on our major cities is a bigger job than kicking out the PE unions, but they are part and parcel of the “big city” problem we face in this country today. Cops, Firefighters, Teachers, etc. with their unions helping the RATS destroy our cities is as big a problem as is illegal immigration.
