The Independent is the paper of record for the Town of Paradise Valley and in that function, the publication — and its dedicated reporting staff — covered extensively the municipal happenings of calendar year 2018 with a conscientious approach to journalism.
Calendar year 2018 in the Town of Paradise Valley saw the election of a new mayor, who ran uncontested, meanwhile two fresh faces will take the helm atop the local governing board.
From the divisive single-hauler trash and recycling pursuit, to questions surrounding the Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley resort community to a better understanding of police surveillance — and the revenue generated from those efforts — to the abrupt resignation of a town manager the politics of Paradise Valley led the pages of the Independent in 2018.
