One
major element of Scottsdale’s special character has always been our reputation
as a mecca of the arts. Sadly, as a recent expose (Scottsdale
Art Is Dead; Long Live Scottsdale Art) makes clear, our current city
administration is encouraging and even subsidizing the destruction and decay of
the Scottsdale arts scene. Every year they give 4.5M taxpayer dollars to a
special-interest to run a theater with declining attendance, a museum almost no
one attends, and a declining public art program. They have encouraged the
largest concentration of bars in Maricopa County to develop in Downtown right
next to established businesses and residential areas, bringing noise, crime and
traffic. And they have allowed so-called “special events” to undercut
established galleries and brick-and-mortar businesses
Downtown.
This
is another example of why I am running for Mayor – to provide the new leadership
our city needs to retain its special character and high quality of
life.
