Lawsuit
A lawsuit against the City of Phoenix and the City of Scottsdale has been filed with regard the
numerous
violations taking place in Papago Park.
We have tried for over a year to avoid this, but the two cities have been ignoring our requests for
them to review the legal challenges that they may face.
We are tired of seeing a public park being destroyed. We are tired of the City not listening to its
residents.
Please note that we have exhausted all other avenues and means to bring put an end to these
illegal activities and this route is our last resort.
This lawsuit will potentially consume hundreds of hours of resources for all parties.
We thank you all for your support. We are going to need a whole lot more of it in the next several
months.
