from page 7:
Mr. Beyer moved to approve the MAG/ADOT CANAMEX report and the resolution for the future designation of the CANAMEX Corridor through the Maricopa region with the understanding that the remainder of the route undetermined in Maricopa County be recommended within nine months, with the provision that within three months, ADOT would provide a report if more time is needed. Mayor Scruggs seconded.
Mayor Tibshraeny made a substitute motion to approve the MAG/ADOT CANAMEX report and the resolution for the future designation of the CANAMEX Corridor through the Maricopa region with the understanding that the remainder of the route undetermined in Maricopa County be recommended within a target of twelve months. Roc Arnett seconded.
It is so obvious by ALL reports that major corridors are going to be built from Mexico directly to Canada - with land and homes being taken away from families - and all corridors will be built, run by and profited by countries other than our own.
Ten thousand will lose their homes outside of Tucson - and either people refuse to believe it (or worse) or they just plumb don’t care.
IMO, our citizens are made up of four groups:
1. The uninformed (the ‘don’t read’ folks)
2. The “I don’t really care group (it won’t affect me)
3. The informed who just sit back and say, “oh, well”. (I call this group the “apathies”).
4. The outraged citizens (the few and far between)
Guess which group is the largest?
