A Citizens Letter To The Globe City Council Regarding The Allocation Of Bed Tax Revenue

June 23rd, 2008

To Honorable Members of the Globe City Council:

Before you make your decision on allocations on bed tax monies, I respectfully request that top priority for additional bed tax revenues be considered for the Globe-Miami United Fund.

The Globe-Miami United Fund for years has promoted our community in unlimited ways which has involved thousands of persons through the many organizations it represents. Not only has this agency played a part of Globe's economy, it has been a major factor in helping to stabilize family life, getting our youngsters involved in various activities, even stepping in to help needy persons, and the list goes on.

As a supporter, I believe the Globe-Miami United fund needs additional help and this non profit organization does legally qualify for receiving city of Globe bed tax funds.

Again, would you please give the Globe-Miami United Fund top priority in your discussions this evening for additional allocations for bed tax monies. With this non profit group, there are no secrets or mysteries as to what the Globe-Miami United Fund does with its monies. The information is public and the credibility of the local United Fund groups is well known in the area. Too, the organizations it represents are busy improving the quality of life in Globe and are not issuing self promoting press releases to justify their existence.

Thank You,
Thera P. Gonzales
