Oracle Betrayed Again!

3/6/2023

0 Comments

 
  Betrayed promises aren't unusual in small town Arizona if Oracle is any example.  A big one happened here when the University of Arizona decided to defecate on a commitment made to JT Page who was into arid lands research when it pulled an ethically challenged switcheroo by turning his ranch into a toxic/radioactive waste dump. 
  Lo, these many years later comes another mega switcheroo, this time crapping on a Pinal County commitment to other ranch owners - the Kannallys - who thought they had sewn up an agreement to maintain the Oracle dump for Oracle residents secured by a deed transfer.  As Jane Woodruff's letter to District 4 Supervisor Jeffrey McClure makes clear, now the county is stepping all over O-Town (and the Kannally's death bed wishes) at the behest of transfer station operator Waste Management. 
  Right off, Oracle voters who follow such things will recognize that nobody around here voted for McClure.  His status as "our supervisor" was bequeathed to him by a sort of "Tinker to Evers to Chance" play triggered by redistricting manipulations.

    Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979.  The house we bought dated to the late 1940s.  With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

    Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

    Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
