In response to Call to the Public, Supervisor Jennifer Allen implores her colleagues to reconsider their values.

"It is not too late to change our minds," Allen tells her colleagues, specifically Heinz and Scott.

A related thread but not tied to today's meeting. The NDDC crashed a fundraiser hosted by Heinz last tonight benefitting the Pima County Democratic Party was crashed last night by NDDC supporters.

The protests was peaceful, but sizable.

Good morning, #Tucson.

I am here at the #PimaSupes this morning. I am a few minutes because the meeting is at capacity.

In the roughly 8 years I've covered the meeting regularly, it rarely been this full.

Join us for our September General Meeting on Saturday, September 27 @ 2:15pm!

Tucson beat Amazon!

And we're kicking out Fortis next! (the Canadian corporation that owns TEP)

Hmm, what happened to renewable energy?

Tucson needs to say NO to Amazon's Project Blue and YES to Public Power⚡

Massive amounts of our water and energy for Amazon? Hard pass.

Join us for our July General Meeting!

We'll give updates on the candidates we've endorsed for City Council, our Public Power work and the fight to stop Project Blue.

And discuss DSA National Convention.

Should Tucson buy out Tucson Electric Power? Should the City of Tucson own and run the electrical service for people in Tucson? That’s the idea some people are proposing—and TEP is fighting.

Yes.

TEP’s “hostile takeover”? Power provider fights powers that be … New rules in border game … And one step forward, two steps back.
