The time is NOW to call or e-mail your legislators and the Governor about the critical decisions they are making about our state's FY2010 budget. These decisions directly impact Phoenix and communities throughout our state. Unfortunately, the budget proposed by the state legislature raids funds dedicated to city services such as police, fire and parks -- Phoenix stands to lose approximately $14 million!
Call your legislators and the Governor (602-542-4331) TODAY! Tell them to pass a budget that does NOT impact cities and your neighborhood services.
The Senate's budget threatens city revenues and services:
- SB 1035 contains the impact fee moratorium and "reforms" that shifts impact fee costs from builders to existing homeowners and businesses
- SB1036 shifts city revenues to the state
Whether the Governor will veto the budget package the Legislature will deliver is not absolutely determined, although she has publicly supported the positions of cities and towns. The Phoenix City Council has endorsed the Governor's budget.
You can help block this attempt by the Legislature to appropriate shared revenues and to shift impact fee costs from builders to existing homeowners and businesses by calling or e-mailing your legislator today. Click on the P.L.A.N. link at the bottom of this message to connect to your legislators - and thank you!
Our city's budget for next fiscal year (July 2009-June 2010) was adopted in February and includes difficult cuts that impact services in our community. Remember to SHOP PHOENIX and tell your legislators to protect city revenues!
