Statewide Poll: Voters Say Local Governments Boost Quality of Life
PHOENIX (May 18, 2012) – A recent statewide poll shows Arizonans increasingly trust mayors and city council members to balance budgets and make wise decisions about public funds. The number of voters who have confidence in city and town government to be fiscally responsible jumped 11 percentage points over a similar poll taken in 2011. State and county government trailed cities in this category by a margin of more than two-to-one.
