(July 26, 2023) Taking to the airwaves: Pima County Board of Supervisors Chair Adelita Grijalva appeared on the Bill Buckmaster Show Monday, talking about mariachi, her recent bout of COVID, pygmy owls, the effect of the board’s recent decision to limit public comments and more. Grijalva told Buckmaster that during the July 11 supervisors meeting — the first since the new rule went into effect — call to the public was over in an hour.

“We want to make sure that public access continues, but when the bulk of your meeting is taken up by call to the audience and statements about ‘this is our time to rally our people that think like us,’ ... I’m hoping that has been toned down some,” Grijalva said.
