📢HB4030 / HCR2052 couldn’t come at a worse time. There are so many bad parts to this half-baked legislation, but let’s start with the impact on our water future. 💧As Arizona seeks to find long-term water sources, these measures would handcuff municipal water providers at a critical juncture. The legislation freezes local flexibility when cities & towns need it most. Voters elect mayors and councils to manage local utilities and budgets, and can hold them accountable by voting them out of office. Freezing rates now doesn’t stop costs; it just delays them in a punitive way. HB4030 and HCR2052 remove local control, jeopardize critical infrastructure investments, and impact public safety funding. ❌VOTE NO!
