Ginny Dickey is the best choice, in my opinion, for mayor of Fountain Hills. I was reminded of that while reviewing her mailer from the 2016 election; why I voted for her in 2016 and will again on August 28, 2018.

In 2016, Ginny responded to the current mayor’s claims of having better roads, improved parks and a downtown that is finally being developed. Ginny says to those claims, “We have one better road since we voted to finance it ourselves. Other streets are deteriorating…”

In answer to the claim of having improved parks, Ginny’s response is Fountain Lake and the turf are unacceptable and the urban trails lack proper maintenance.

Finally, is downtown really being developed? Ginny says that the current mayor approved the controversial 54-foot high apartments, outside of our General Plan, partially blocking views. Ginny then said, “Except for those deeds she did ‘on her own,’ the mayor only credits three other councilmembers for ‘creating a town we can all be proud of.’ No mention of staff, citizens, commissioners or her other three council colleagues, let alone mayors and councils that came before.”

One of the current mayor’s three referenced council members? Cecil Yates.

In 2018, some of Ginny’s priorities are to protect and enhance why we chose to live in Fountain Hills; to build and maintain Fountain Hills’ infrastructure, to repair our roads, parks, and buildings, responsibly invest tax-payer funds, restore and strengthen professional, respectful relationships with staff and community partners and more.

With Ginny, I get proven leadership, since 1983. Ginny is prepared to listen to our partners and residents and will share in the accomplishments of joint efforts recognizing that no one alone achieves success for our hometown.

Now is the time. Vote for Ginny Dickey.
