Good afternoon, #Tucson.
I've hyped it up over the last few weeks - but the joint #TucsonCouncil and @PimaSupes meeting will start in a few minutes.

I am in Ward 2 tonight listening to an unusual public meeting - about fiscal year 26/27.
(We are in FY 25/25, for what it is worth. )
While this is being held in Paul Cunningham’s Ward 2 office, Ward 4 Councilwoman Nikki Lee is also here.

I am on the eastside of town for a scheduled town hall with @gallego.senate.gov and Rep. Juan Ciscomani.
(Well, the two-term Republican was invited at the very least to attend.)

Good morning, #Tucson.
I am here at the #PimaSupes this morning. I am a few minutes because the meeting is at capacity.
In the roughly 8 years I've covered the meeting regularly, it rarely been this full.

I want to take a moment for some minor media criticism.
For those who are reading these posts from somewhere other than #Tucson, I assure that the #NoKings protest here today is entirely peaceful.
Families are bringing their kinds, people are armed with signs and slogans, not weapons.

I took my stand. I told Paramount I'm canceling because they undermined American journalism by caving in to bribe demands from Donald Trump.

A good explanation of how redboxing - not the dvd rental machines - play a role in messaging from outside groups in the #AZ07 special election in today’s @tucsonagenda.bsky.social.
A glossy mailer starring Obama’s hand on Daniel Hernandez’s arm was the first hint that CD7’s special election would be drenched in outside cash — thanks, in part, to Citizens United and the fine art of redboxing.

Welcome the struggle of following along without a presentation on your computer/desk, supervisor Andrés Cano.
He stopped the discussion to ask for a copy of the current homeless encampment presentation he is listening to/watching.
He is told he will get a copy emailed to him after the meeting.
