I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the public meeting Thursday, May 30, on the proposed Global Water rate 
increases, especially those who provided comments to the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). I also want to specifically acknowledge the efforts of two groups working tirelessly to increase awareness and citizen opposition in this case.
They are 14 of our 18 Maricopa HOA boards, led by Maricopa Meadows HOA Board President Eric Schmidt and AAM Area Manager Pam Hilliard, who is serving as liaison for HOA community managers. These individual and collective efforts are greatly appreciated.
