Unity.

That’s what Mayor Jonathan Rothschild called for during his second State of the City address Tuesday afternoon.

Rothschild said it would take a concerted effort among public, private and nonprofit entities if Tucson is to emerge from its current status as sixth-poorest metro area in the country.

Even though some economic indicators have improved since he took office, plenty of obstacles remain, Rothschild said.

“The cost of providing quality public services is rising, and too many Tucsonans are still struggling,” Rothschild said during the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event. “To meet the challenges facing our community, we must work together as a community.”

One of the most immediate steps toward unifying is for all area governments to get on the same page on moving more people into incorporated cities and towns in order to claim a bigger share of state revenues, whether that be by annexation or new city incorporations.
