"Supervisor Wilson is engaged on the key issues facing our region, state, and country including Luke Air Force Base, transportation and keeping taxes low." - Congressman Trent Franks

Maricopa County has had a policy since the mid-1990s of paying up front for capital improvements, such as new buildings, out of the regular operating budgets rather than issuing long-term bonds. That means for the most part if the county does not have the cash, the project does not get built, Wilson said.
