The bullying really kicked into high gear when I took to the Legislature Senate Bill 1322 (SB1322), an idea to help bring fi scal sanity to the city and relief to taxpayers. All it does is require big cities to check if the private sector might be able to do some non-core and non-public safety work more ef fi ciently and less expensively, saving taxpayers that hugely expensive labor load and skyrocketing pension costs. You wonder why Phoenix would rather raise your taxes and fees ($130 million in the past year) than stand up to union bullies who threaten (and elect) them. And don’t buy the “employee sacri fi ce” line.

The Phoenix Police Department, he said, con fi rmed such practices were taking place. “Solicitation in the neighborhoods was creating a public safety issue that had to be addressed,” DiCiccio said. Phoenix City Council members initially considered requiring solicitors to acquire licenses as part of a new ordinance. The council eventually decided that background checks of all those applying would be too time consuming and expensive. The council approved a three-step approach to straighten out the solicitation Continued on page 25 4TH ANNIVERSARY TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION! CELEBRATION!
