In light of the recent events in this and related Dockets, I feel deeply that Johnson Utilities' track record for delay and blatant contumacy for the Commission's authority I i should no longer be allowed to prevent the Commission from taking action on its executive and judicial duties. The history of Johnson Utilities has consistently been that of delay and obstructionism, unscrupulous litigation, and wanton disrespect, and now we are looking at potentially life-threatening conditions to the public, employees, and first responders while our interim manager agreement is suspended for an indefinite period of time. The critical health and safety crises ECOR advised us of last week go to the heart of why urgency and compliance were so imperative for the Commission from the outset.

  • Municipal 2012
    2012 Municipal policy Statement Core Principles • PROTECTION OF SHARED REVENUES. Arizona’s municipalities rely on the existing state-collected shared revenue system to provide quality services to their residents. The League will resist any attacks on this critical source of funding for localities, which are responsibly managing lean budgets during difficult economic times. The League opposes unfunded legislative mandates, as well as the imposition of fees and assessments on municipalities as a means of shifting the costs of State operations onto cities and towns. In particular, the League opposes any further diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies away from municipalities and calls upon the Legislature to restore diverted HURF funding to critical road and street projects. • PRESERVATION OF LOCAL CONTROL. The League calls upon the Arizona Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities free from legislative interference and the imposi- tion of regulatory burdens. The League shares the sentiments of Governor Brewer, who, in vetoing anti-city legislation last session, wrote: “I am becoming increasingly concerned that many bills introduced this session micromanage decisions best made at the local level. What happened to the conservative belief that the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people?” Fiscal Stewardship The League is prepared to support reasonable reforms to the state revenue system that adhere to the principles of simplicity, fairness and balance and that do not infringe upon the ability of cities and towns to implement tax systems that reflect local priorities and economies. • The League proposes to work with the Legislature to ensure that both the State and municipalities are equipped with the economic development tools they need to help them remain competitive nationally and internationally.
