For those that do not trust Mesa City Council members, I hope that you read an article this past week that revealed some details of a recent city council meeting.Vice Mayor Claudia Walters drew attention to additional revenue sought with the potential of bringing in funds from new bonds proposed for the city. One of her concerns - the citizens of Mesa in view of the result of the recent property tax failure in March.Accountability and a view of the "big picture" in relationship to the Mesa community such as this is needed. These concerns may have been discussed in times past but no publicly. Bringing conversations like this to the public will be important toward changing the mind-sets of those whose negative comments most likely come because they do not see the full picture of a process. When one has not been included in hearing or reading about those discussions assumptions are made.The news media helps as well, not only reporting what will "sell" but also reporting threads of credible truth so as not to undermine our government whether it be local or afar. I was very happy to see the report given from this council meeting!
