“Thank you. The motion carries four to one. I will indicate that unlike most governmental jurisdictions I know, local, state, and federal, these dollars were always identified and recognized as one time by Maricopa County. There are many government entities. Sorry, we've got a motor out on the AC. There are many government entities.”

“I prefer it's too hot. So it helps to have the lights off. Because we do have an air conditioner that's not working quite just right. Anyway, what I was saying was the local, state, and federal levels of government have taken these ARPA monies, which were always intended as short-term one-time, and they've incorporated those funds fully into their ongoing expenses. And then when the money runs out, which it does, then they have to make cuts to their operating budgets. Maricopa County did not do that.

And I think what then happens, if you plan for it to go away, which we did, then you put yourself in a position of maintaining financial stability and perhaps doing an awful lot of good for your constituents. I don't agree with the policy either.”
