Mayor Manross Quotations

Yes, I support them. Yes, I hope they all come back.

I do not think it's appropriate to have elected officials sit in judgment or have to vote on arts issues. I think that's going to jeopardize what we have in Scottsdale.

The only thing that I wish we'd see is a greater turnout, just more and more involvement. We need a broader representation from around the community on different transportation issues. I do not want us to get to the point of making some final determinations based on a response from a very small number.

Our community has spoken so loudly about all these needs and projects. They would be really dismayed if we could not move forward with these things.

We find ourselves with the dollars available for these projects, without being able to spend them.

There was a good-sized audience and they all seemed to be very interested. I thought it was very successful.

As everybody has wished for a long time, I'd like to see higher and better uses in that part of the community. That's what we're striving for.

That's why this is so critical to our future. It gives authorization for us to spend those dollars that our citizens have voted to spend.

It's amazing what they are doing to try to stop Scottsdale from operating this type of program.

They are just starting their September campaign early.

If you understand the law excuse me, ma'am! Now I have the floor now! I just got accused of this.

I believe he has a deep interest and concern and affection for the community. He is a thoughtful person and reflects the values of the community.

This is a longtime Scottsdale tradition. We're trying to keep the sense of our Western history alive.
