As for the trees. Some major problems surround this program. 1. Who's responsible for watering them properly??? (One of my nearby city parks still has not figured that out.) 2. Who's responsible for properly trimming them (don't make lion's tales....the city contractors for trimming trees are clueless along with a huge number of landscapers.) 3. Don't thin the trees during the summer. DUH.....trees are supposed to provide shade! 4. And then watch out, because you may find some city inspector who thinks your trees are blocking visibility or hanging too low over the sidewalk, or in the way of the garage trucks.
I have found both See the Money and Follow the Money (it has a new name I can’t remember at the moment) to be faulty. Even my own donations aren’t accurate and I have checked with the candidates who filed correctly.
It’s a real problem. As the Agenda pointed out, with PACs, it’s so much worse. With street signs proliferating the streets attempting to persuade voters to vote “NO” on overrides, many don’t have the necessary attribution, website or valid number number required for display by state statute. But, it’s almost impossible to track down non existent PACs to properly report. And, municipalities won’t or can’t remove them (both because they lack the resources to track down information or physically remove them.) Dark money will continue to influence elections in Arizona until a working system is in place and bad actors are fined and held accountable.

transparency USA has far better functionality than the AZ SOS website for state level elections!
