South Tucson low voter turnout approves home rule

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now)- Only 200 voters cast ballots in Tuesday's election in South Tucson, but they approved a home rule option by a 2-1 margin.

The decision allows the city to set spending limits instead of following guidelines mandated by the state.

South Tucson is projecting to spend $15.8 million in 2013-2014. The state mandate was around $10 million.

The proposal passed 136-64 (68 percent-32 percent).

The City of South Tucson has 1,909 registered voters, meaning it had a 10.6 percent turnout.

Tucson Water increase will be finalized tonight

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now)- Residents will find out this evening how much more they will
be paying for water in Tucson.

The city council will decide on new rates and fees
tonight.  No matter what that Tucson
water bill will be going up.  How much is
the real question.  The answer is not
clear yet, but residents can get some sort of idea, the estimate is $3.  Not a lot, but more than residents have paid
before. 

Tucson Water says costs are going up and it needs to increase
revenue from somewhere. 

There are numbers of ways to get there; for the average
customer their bill will go up anywhere from $2.91 to $3.68 per bill.  Tucson Water has held a series of public
forums over the past few weeks. 
Officials are taking all of the feedback to the council, who will make
the final decision this evening. 

The council meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. tonight.
