I would love to see a deep dive into Sun Tran and the potential economic benefits to the ENTIRE community if rides are fare-free. (For example, if low-wage people can get to their jobs via transit, it helps keep them and their families above water; all student riders should always be free, as studenting is a community development process; etc. ) The darker side of Sun Tran may be the for-profit foreign management, if that's still the case, and how much that skims from us.

Would love to see you get a local solutions beat going again - I saw that mentioned in today’s Agenda and I’m so excited about it!!! Love what you’re both doing - reading The Tucson Agenda is one of my new favorite morning routines!!! ♥️

I would really like to know what our local state legislators are doing. What are they voting for/against? What are they proposing? What are they saying? What are their committees doing that impacts Southern Arizona?

I'd also like to know more about the various political organizations supporting ballot initiatives such as Voter Choice Arizona and the Red for Ed movement and what's coming down the pipe from them.

Maybe stories on local people making an impact in the community as well.

Curt, a "Today in City Zoning" would interest more readers than you might think!

You are publishing an excellent news product that is needed and appreciated in the Tucson market. I am grateful to you. But we must help you sign up more paid subscribers and contributors. All your readers can be especially helpful in this regard. Let's motivate them and keep on pushing.

Two story lines I would like you to focus on includes Sen Wadsacks recall petition, which has only one month left to perfect. We need more signatures.

The other story is what is our AZ AG doing about fake electors from the Arizona, similar to the legal action Michigan has taken.

Thank you kindly for the opportunity to comment. I wish you continued success.

Thanks for the one-month update. It’s interesting to me that your transparency in sharing financial status increases my sense of “ownership.” I immediately began reviewing to whom I forwarded your first announcement and thinking about others who need to know about Tucson Agenda.

Great news about Jill Jordan Spitz coming on with a podcast. Every day as I see more and more AP national news on the front page of the Arizona Star I miss her leadership in making that newspaper one truly focused on Tucson and Southern Arizona.

Best wishes for making Tucson Agenda the smart readers’ choice in Southern Arizona!
