AZ MAYORS GATHER TO ADDRESS ECONOMIC, PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES

posted by Melanie Huonker

Mayors from across Arizona will gather for the Arizona League of Cities and Towns Annual Conference this week at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort. The conference will provide a series of workshops for mayors to address their local economic and job outlook, local budget and services issues, taxes and trust in government.

Gov. Jan Brewer will speak at the conference Thursday, Sept. 1. Following her address, Arizona Week will interview five Arizona mayors in a panel discussion to get their reactions to the governor.

So far, Mayor Byron Jackson of Eloy, Mayor Fernando Shipley of Globe, Mayor Marie Lopez Rogers of Avondale and Mayor Sara Presler of Flagstaff have confirmed their participation in the discussion.

That discussion will air on Friday night's episode of Arizona Week.
