Comments sought on bond plans

Pima County will start a series of open houses this week to discuss proposed bond projects that could go to voters in May 2008.

County officials say they want public comments as they narrow a wish list of $3 billion in projects to $1 billion or less. About 30 percent is expected to go to wastewater projects.

County officials will also explain projects on the list at the open houses.

The most expensive proposal calls for a new Superior Court building at a cost of $530 million, almost as much as all the park projects under consideration.

The county Board of Supervisors will consider public comments, as well as recommendations from its bond committee, before finalizing a list of projects for voter approval.

Unless noted otherwise, all open houses will run from 6 to 8 p.m.:

● Thursday, Drexel Heights Community Center, 5220 S. San Joaquin Road

● Monday, 2 to 4 p.m., 2980 S. Camino Del Sol, Green Valley

● Nov. 1, Nanini Library, 7300 N. Shannon Road

● Nov. 8, Empire High School, 10701 E. Mary Ann Cleveland Way

Citizen Online Archive, 2006-2009

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.

For all of the stories that were archived by the Tucson Citizen newspaper's library in a digital archive between 1993 and 2009, go to Morgue Part 2
