In a few days, Mesa will welcome a new City Manager. This new City Manager will be able to add his leadership skills to a city that has done quit well for itself in the past but now faces challenges. Coming from San Antonio, who has be very forward thinking and growth oriented, he will be able to use that experience to help build Mesa’s bright future. Mesa, also, stands at the edge of opportunity in taking a major step forward in the improvement of its education delivery system with the build out of both ASU Poly Campus (at Williams Gateway) and the Mesa Community College Downtown campus. These two campuses along with the current education complex will help train Mesa’s future work force. The completion of the 202-Red Mountain Freeway in 2008 will create an effect for generating the build out of the north and eastern parts of Mesa with its needed work force areas and economic development. With the development of Riverview, the redevelopment of the Fiesta Mall area, the ultimate build out development of both the Williams Gateway Area and the Falcon Field areas, and the developments of Downtown Mesa, I see a bright future. It will require the strong political will and fortitude of its citizens to plan, create, invent and support the future, but Mesa has done so in the past and I believe there is leadership available in this city to establish a great place to live, work and play, far into the future.

I agree that Mesa has a bright future, provided that its citizens understand that how the fortieth largest city in the United States must be financed. The following press release by the Mesa Fraternal Order of Police points out some facts about Mesa
With the continued growth of Mesa, as noted by the previous two posters, will come the increased tax base.
Thus, there is no need for the City of Mesa to impose a property tax.
A permanent tax on property is not needed to solve a temporary problem.
