The fate of Scottsdale’s General Plan is uncertain after four members of the task force resigned, prompting critics to speculate that the new plan could face opposition.
Task-force members James Heitel, Howard Myers, Ned O’Hearn and Joanne “Copper” Phillips resigned on Jan. 13, saying they were ignored, bullied and intimidated by some other members after airing their views on growth and other topics.
Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane said the controversy could bring about further efforts to undermine the General Plan, which is nearly finished in draft form. The plan could go before voters in the Nov. 4 election.
