The Great Recession showed us that our economy was too narrowly focused, but those other features still apply, at least for now. What the recession also laid bare for all to see was a city government driven by insiders concerned solely for themselves and their bene fi t, not for you and your family, not for the future economy, not for your kids and parents. If we fi x that and expand our economy, Phoenix will lead the nation out of the recession. We will do so with a reputation not only as a well-run city but also as a low- tax, hassle-free, amenity-rich, business- friendly place to call home. All of this is enormously possible, and not enormously dif fi cult, with your help. Where are we now? Phoenix has missed budget most of the past 10 years. We spend and you pay $270 million more for the same number of employees as we did fi ve years ago. Rates on virtually everything have gone up – water, sewer, permits, getting a job- producing business started. The hassle quotient for businesses doing business with the city has climbed, as the city struggles to keep employees doing something, so fewer businesses want to (or can afford to) do so. Programs for seniors, schoolchildren, the poor, transit, libraries and more have been curtailed. Already well-compensated government employees get raises every year, while the city imposes a new food tax, which hurts the poor the most. How did we get here? You’ve seen this movie elsewhere, in California, New Jersey, Greece, General Motors. During the boom, revenues increased and neither the city nor citizens paid much attention to what happens when the money train runs out of track. City Council elections, often if not generally, see fewer than 10,000 voters show up, which gives union bene fi ciaries great power with a membership much higher than that. Consequently, city leaders have been more beholding to the unions that control elections than to the people who pay taxes for the city to run. So the national union bosses, whose sole constituency is the city’s labor force, have called the shots, which means cutting your services and raising your taxes and fees in the Great Recession while employees continue to grow compensation (up 23 percent since 2005-2006). How do we move forward? No. 1 is returning to a philosophy and operation that puts the citizens and taxpayers fi rst. Phoenix needs to realize once again that people who live in Phoenix are both the bosses and the customers, not the cash cow. Phoenix must focus on those core functions that serve its constituents, like public safety, libraries, seniors and kids. That means creating a system that keeps good employees by treating them well and compensating them fairly at levels consistent with what their bosses, the citizens, make. That will require that the city compare what it pays for non-essential services with what the rest of the market pays for the same services and negotiate with labor for the best deal for citizens, not just public worker unions and themselves. It also requires that voters tell elected leaders that they want a city run this way – for them, not for insiders. We can lead the nation out of the recession with good jobs, a fairly priced government, diverse business growth and important citizen services. Or we can continue to raise taxes and fees, lower services and give more of your hard-earned money to fund unions that have gotten 23 percent raises during the recession. I choose the former. What do you choose? DiCiccio represents District 6. He can be reached at 602-262-7491. Travel Continued from page 10
