The Easter Bunny and Nadine the donkey are coming to Our Place Diner April 19th. Bring your Easter basket, the egg hunt begins at 10am for kids 7 and under, and at 10:30am for kids 8 and over.
GVID ratepayers have been handed a disappointment when the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that they do not have the constitutional right of initiative and referendum on the County’s rate increase, and that a punitive rate can be imposed for higher water use. Now that the litigation is over, ratepayers only hope is to restore a private elected board that can negotiate a cheaper rate for repairs and daily operations than the disproportionate amount the County has been extorting from them.
It appears that County staff is trying to pull a fast one on GV residents and property owners who were told by the general plan subcommittee last year, along with the Supervisors, that the Dorado land use area plan would revert back to agricultural as stipulated when it was originally granted.
Their excuse? Apparently some weasel, or possibly a paid operative, went and collected a reported 30 signatures from Shipps Estates residents in support of the Angle Homes planned community on the Dorado land, which would nearly double the current GV population. Nevermind the overwhelming community opposition to the land use designation that was already on record with the subcommittee.
The draft general plan will not be voted on for several weeks, so there’s time to have your voices heard.
