Heritage tourism video waste of money

Posted: Updated:

I know i'm new to Tucson, but i really don't understand spending close to a million dollars for a film documenting the history of Tucson.    

The film was ordered in 2006 and was supposed to be a promotional video for the Tucson Heritage Park project.  

But with the work west of downtown on hold, there are big questions about the cost.     

So far the price tag is $820,000 and there is no place to show it.   Nor do we have the equipment to even play it!

Ordering this video was short-sighted and an insult to the taxpayers. We could use $820,000 to keep open the 17 Tucson pools, closed because of budget shortfalls.

We need to send a message to our city leaders that they need to be more careful with our tax dollars or we will find others that will.

Think about it.
