| “ |
Although Scottsdale is nonpartisan, for full disclosure Guy Phillips is a registered Republican. That being said, in Scottsdale the issues are not Republican or Democrat, but rather maintaining a quality of life we have all grown to love. Guy stands for property owners rights and will defend you against encroachment of irresponsible development. Guy has consistently voted against any tax or rate increases and has fought and defeated two bond elections to raise your property tax. He believes the city council is there for the sole purpose of serving YOU, not self serving special interest groups. [4] |
