Your link doesn't work.
Is this video?

Tucson's $820,000 promotional video

It seems like the folks who posted on the board in the link above hated the video.
Actually I rather liked it.

It's not that anyone hated the video, per se. It's the fact that the city spent $820,000 on it.

I must've missed something. Did the video even show the city of Tucson? How is this supposed to attract people to visit/move here/startup businesses? What an embarrassment.

Very nice video, but 820k bucks . . . GIMME A BREAK!

We definitely need a BIG BROOM to sweep the goons responsible to the curb.

The video is a joke even at half the stated cost.

And besides, it won't be long before the last cactus in Pima County is knocked over and the place it stood gets paved over with asphalt or concrete.
Progress, ain't it grand...........

Too funny. If you people still think that there isn't rampant corruption within the City Council in Tucson, then you are completely asleep... $820k for this? Really?

But then you did just reelect two council members. You get the government you deserve!

That was boring. And it might not be corruption, Spot ... they might just be REALLY dumb.

Spot is right. The Tucson City Council is a disgrace. Wake up! Quit electing these people. Sweep these goons to the curb like Bummer said.

Another example of how they operate. Remember Tucson Electric Park? The first consultants hired told "The Council," this could not make money, let alone break even, and that the park could not be funded in the ways they proposed and it would require heavy taxation to sustain. The response from our glorified leaders...hire another consulting firm to give them "the right answer." Not dumb, just corrupt!

You don't get a second opinion on medical stuff? Or more than one quote for car or house work?

Wow, you're trusting. Not defending 'The Council', just saying.
