Oro Valley Councilman Mike Zinkin has been pushing for transparency and real numbers related to the purchase of the Hilton El Conquistador golf courses for months now. On Monday, in an email exchange between Zinkin and Town Manager, Greg Caton, admitted that thanks to the lack of transparency, budget projections were nearly created from whole cloth.
According to Caton the numbers upon which the Town might base projections are “only distributed to us for month over month comparison purposes.” Those figures, however, are essential to developing a budget, according to Zinkin.
