Green Valley News
State Sen. Gail Griffin on Thursday put the brakes on a bill that could have moved Green Valley, Sahuarita and the mines into Santa Cruz County.
Griffin (R-Hereford) said questions raised on both sides led to the decision, and said her committee also has 20 other bills to consider before a Monday deadline. She said she hasn’t decided whether to reintroduce the bill next year.
Griffin introduced SB 1357 last week. The bill would have put to a vote the idea of moving the Santa Cruz County line to Pima Mine Road on the northern boundary of Sahuarita.
The plan has been floated several times in the past and has met near-universal disapproval on both sides of the county line. Griffin’s office has been barraged by emails and phone calls on the bill since last week.
