You might remember last month were Mayor Meck stated in an Arizona Republic article the the recall efforts launched by CFABB was hampering the towns ability to receive stimulus funds for various projects throughout Buckeye. Interesting enough CFABB found the town failed to meet the early March deadline to apply for such stimulus programs and therefore was forced to apply for WIFA loans/grants. Never the less CFABB was falsely accused for their actions!
In a recent article released in the Arizona Republic on May 13th, "No stimulus money for Buckeye water-treatment plant", it became very clear that our claims were true. Within this article Damon DeQuenne, Buckeye's water-resource director stated the following.
The agency, known as WIFA, ended up picking other projects for consideration, including one in Goodyear.
"Keep in mind . . . all of these (projects) were going to be loans no matter what, whether they had stimulus assistance or not," said Damon DeQuenne, Buckeye's water-resource director.
"What does it mean for the town of Buckeye? The project is still submitted and it will continue through the normal WIFA process. They're reviewing it now," he said. "We'll make a determination at that point whether it's worth proceeding or not. There are still financial implications that would have been in place either way."
The project got tied up in politics in March, when Mayor Jackie Meck voiced concern that recall efforts in town could raise red flags for WIFA. A representative for the finance authority refuted the claim.
So Mayor Meck...how about it. Do you have it in you to come forward and apologize for your false claims that CFABB actions would cost the town its chances at receiving stimulus money?
Since CFABB started back in early March of this year, there has been an ongoing effort by town officials and management to discredit its member or the group in whole. Those who have been in contact with CFABB know this group is comprised of citizens and professionals from all walks of life. CFABB primary mission is to hold elected officials and the towns upper management accountable for all their actions.
CFABB in essence is the watch dog of Buckeye which will constantly monitor all activities within the town and stand up to the leaders of this town if they stray away from ethical ideals, accountability and their fiscal responsibilities.
Recently CFABB announced its intent to become a Political Action Committee(PAC)to further expand its activities in both local and state government. Every citizen of Buckeye is welcome to join CFABB to assist us with holding our local government accountable, inform our communities through education and to make sure Buckeye's future is positive and prosperous.
