Buckeye Councilman Receives Preferential Treatment or Not? You be the judge...

On April 24th CFABB members received a telephone call from a very reliable source informing us of an incident that took place involving Councilman McAchran and his son at their residence. After careful review, research and substantial consideration we feel the citizens of District 1 should be made aware of this incident.

Due to the nature of this incident we have decided it is not morally right to disclose all of the information pertaining to this incident because we feel family issues and minor children should be protected.

The only reason we are even interested in this story is because of how it has been handled by our Town Officials, Management and Police by hiding it from the general public. The following information is what has been discovered to date.

Facts:

1. April 23rd at 7:36 PM police were dispatched to Councilman McAchran’s home. (Public Record dispatch report requested by CFABB on April 27th and received on May 14th.)


2. April 24th at 11:02 PM police were dispatched again to Councilman McAchran’s home. (Public Record dispatch report requested by CFABB on April 27th and received on May 14th.)


3. Local Police Blotter displayed no record of these calls to the Councilman’s McAchran’s home address but instead showed similar incident reports at a location other than Councilman McAchran’s home. (Police Blotter as reported from Arizona Republic website for the period of April 19th – April 25th.)


4. No Public Court records could be obtained on arraignments or Court proceedings with regard to either incident.


5. Through CFABB investigations we have found these cases have been moved to the Town of Goodyear Police Department.


6. Contact with Goodyear Police Department confirms the above to be true but, no information on these cases can be disclosed as a result that they are under investigation.


Conclusions:

As a result of the current Recall efforts supported by CFABB involving Councilman McAchran, we suspect Town Officials and Management felt it was in the Councilman’s best interest this did not become public knowledge. In essence a cover up to protect him during a Recall!

If this is an honest attempt for justice we feel moving this case to Goodyear Police for a complete investigation was the appropriate thing to do since Councilman McAchran’s has ongoing and continuous involvement with the Policeman’s Association as well as certain Buckeye police officers.

When it comes to the law it should not matter who you are whether being an Elected Official or a common Citizen therefore; hopefully justice will be served if the facts pertaining to this case supports it.

However if this just gets swept under the carpet and forgotten, then the Town as a whole has a much bigger problem than one would think.

As always CFABB appreciates your support and look forward to your comments either on this blog or by email rfbuckeye@gmail.com. “Citizens for a Better Buckeye” are working on recall efforts, finding candidates who have high values and standards as well as being involved at all levels within our communities.

Mayor's Mecks Claims Refuted

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.

If you can not volunteerthen just spread the word to your neighbors, freinds and family informing them of our efforts.

Will you support our Troops?

Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing..

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is .'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.
