Meet Mike Letcher, City Manager

by on Nov. 17, 2009, under Life, Politics

If you haven’t had a chance yet to meet Mike Letcher, the new Tucson City Manager,
drop by the Ward 2 Council office tomorrow November 18, at 7 p.m.

City Manager Mike Letcher

City Manager Mike Letcher

Mr. Letcher will be speaking at this town hall about an update on budget issues, and he wants your input on City services priorities. When he was last at Ward 2 he stated to the audience that “Government R Us”, a humorous take-off of Toys “R” Us, indicating his openness about government officials meeting with city residents.

For those of you who missed those Community Key Services dialogues which I blogged about in October, here’s another opportunity to have a dialogue with the City Manager. The feedback results and photos of community members at the six ward offices are posted online.

The Ward 2 Council office is at 7575 E. Speedway, east of Kolb Road, on the north side of the street.

To RSVP or if you require special accommodations, please call Marilú
Pérez, Neighborhood Outreach Coordinator, at 520-791-4687 or email marilu.perez@tucsonaz.gov.

    Please ask him why we do not re-establish a Citizens Budget Advisory Committee that is a standing advisory, seated with financial talent in the  community. I was on the first one for 8 years, and the city won awards during that time frame for its openness in government. We were featured in some national municipal publications for our approach to budgeting and education of the citizenry. Hardly the case today.  In fact one retired City Council member once said that the Budget Advisory had to be disbanded because “its fund of knowledge exceeded the elected officials”  How is that for shortsighted?
    I think Mike will do a good job.
