Mayor Jonathan Rothschild delivered his 'State of the City' speech Friday at the Tucson Convention Center.
If a mayor is going to discuss the condition of his fair city, he should discuss its actual condition. Rothschild didn't do that, instead opting for a "huzzah," cheering on his own stewardship. Leadership would have meant owning our city's sorry economic reality.... Read more»

Pray tell us: what have the last three mayors done for Tucson??? I think Jonathan is doing a GREAT job, especially considering our impoverished educational system that has been robbed by the Governor of funds. You want companies to come here?
