As long-time Fountain Hills residents since the mid-1980s, we loved raising our children here. My husband’s own parents were founding members of this community in the early 1970s. We have always appreciated and valued the quality of life that we are blessed with living in this beautiful community.

It is time for everyone to step up with support and vote yes for our very needed primary property tax. This is a tax that we should have always had in place in support of our town and our services.

After attending a very vibrant town hall meeting, as well as town council meetings clarifying the importance and the very critical financial present and future needs for our town, we know that it is vital to support this primary property tax for us all to continue to enjoy and benefit from the quality of life that we all enjoy in Fountain Hills.

We need to step up to support the maintenance needs of our infrastructure, the needs of our town services, our local government, schools and our safety, fire and other support agencies and services, all of which contribute to our health, safety and quality of life here in Fountain Hills. It is a vote for our combined vested interests in our property values and our personal investments that we all have already made in our homes and property. It is an investment and commitment to our town and our community!

Fountain Hills will not attract quality residents and businesses without it. Let’s own this! Let us all vote yes on May 15 to save our town. For more information, go to savefh.com.
