Letter: Our Water Tucson | Local affairs

As a candidate for Ward 6 City Council, passionate about innovative policymaking that sensibly prioritizes sustainability and equity, I proudly support Our Water Tucson’s proposal. A climate emergency was declared last year and when the word emergency means anything it means urgent action now and business as usual is no longer acceptable. We cannot continue to subsidize the lifestyle of wealthy homeowners unwilling to pay their fair share, nor is it human to get more than 10,000 working families to pay about $ 3 million in water debt since the outbreak the pandemic. At this moment, courageous leadership is required. Please vote for Our Water Tucson. Let’s stop giving away our most precious resource for so little, and let’s build on the policy that the proceeds must go towards erasing water debts, expanding low-income aid programs, and climate resilience. Many Thanks.
