Thanks for the information “Guest”. Glad to hear that the IST students will perform in French. I blogged about the International School of Tucson back in July:

Students from the International School of Tucson will also be performing. They will recite the poems in the original French before the Chorus sings them.

Thanks for going “phild” and taking you elderly father. I have to confess I dropped by as well to check it out and the event was fun, well organized.

I took my 82 year old father in spite of his objections. We were impressed with the efficiency and organization.

Few films have opened my eyes to the machinations of Tucson as this one did. I am saddened by the revelation that much of what and who governs this valley can rival any of the modus operandi of Chicago polictics, and possibly exceed them.
I prefer to think that people like you and Bill Risner are true Tucsonans. The others are alien visitors. As they say. the sunlight makes the cockroaches scurry. And we got plenty of sun in Tucson.

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.
