Don’t miss our Maricopa City Council candidate forum tonight. We’ll be live streaming it on the Maricopa Monitor’s Facebook page. We sent the candidates a list of questions about growth, traffic, taxes and other issues.

We’ve also been talking with candidates who are running for Florence Town Council. This week we asked them how well they thought the town was handling its recent growth and what businesses they would like to see come to town. See what they had to say.

And did you see this story? A man was arrested in Florence after allegedly burglarizing a home and then trying to set a fire by burning his jail release form.

By the way, we’re still taking nominations for Creme de la Copa. Nominate your favorite businesses and community members through July 1.
