"Call to the Public" has been an important tool to the Tucson Crime Free Coalition in its mission to urge action of our elected officials and raise awareness of the crime and fentanyl crisis in Pima County. Call to the Public has raised awareness of this critical issue affecting everyone regardless of political affiliation. There is no other way for every citizen to participate. Supervisor Bronson, a Democrat, and Supervisor Christy, a Republican, have been a cornerstone of our non-partisan, supportive movement.
“To suppress expression is to reject the basic human desire for recognition and affront the individual’s worth and dignity.” — Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
The easiest resolution to this bad public policy is for the Board of Supervisors to remove this item from the agenda and get on with the real work of running our County. Listening to concerns or views some might not agree is what we pay them for. They have the time to listen.
AGAIN, we are paying them!

Dear Supervisor,
Regarding Item #19 on the June 6th, 2023 meeting agenda:
As your constituent, I believe the “Call to the Public” should not be limited or changed in any way, much less as described in Agenda Item 19. Freedom of Speech and the ability of people to address you, the Pima County Board of Supervisors - our elected representatives - on the record, is an integral part of public meetings and not a frivolous matter. The existing policy should not be changed. Doing so will be seen as yet another attempt to silence your constituents’ voices.
Please Remove from the agenda OR vote “NO” on this item.
You have an excellent approach to how you are presenting this. It’s too important to be partisan. Thank you.
We just got back from San Diego. It (and the other major Calif cities) shows what happens if you don’t have people like you. Our daughter works in downtown San Diego. Scarry place!!
You no doubt have seen the YouTube clips of Bill Walton’s deep concerns about the very serious safety and sanitation issues around his home in Hillcrest. He’s very angry at the local politicians. Hillcrest has gone from paradise to ___!!
Keep up your excellent work!! 😊

D. McGeary – stop going on about Covid? Never! We need to learn and not go back to the draconian measures that were forced on us by this liberal BOS and state. Our voices will be heard, with signs, with emotions. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech – !!
I believe in our right to speak to the government. I do not agree with the way many of participants speak with disrespect to the board. Supervisor——-, would be proper, not saying their first name in a vulgar way. Put down the signs, act like adults, let everyone participate. Stop going on and on about covid. We have important issues with regards to crime and our standard of living with these criminals allowed to continue .
Thanks for doing this.
Funny how Rex Scott cut in front of 200 parents to give public comments at a CFSD school board meeting on April 11th but wants to take them away from all of us.
