Tucson’s Proposition 200 - The Public Safety First Initiative

 

On November 3 city voters will be asked whether the Tucson’s City Charter should be amended to prescribe mandatory minimum staff levels for police officers and mandatory minimum response times for the Fire Department. This is an unfunded mandate that has the potential to impact other services generally; inasmuch no funding source has been included in the proposition. To learn more about the initiative and its impact on city government, which may result in the layoff of 343 FT city employees, the elimination of non-mandated services such as the Parks and Recreation Department, or the elimination of support for Outside Agencies (e.g. TPAC, Job Path, The Humane Society, The Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, El Tour de Tucson; Our Family Services) see the following:
