Please read this article from the Arizona Republic.
Rogue Pinal County supervisor Bryan Martyn has taken it upon his self to try and name the unincorporated area near Queen Creek on his own. Evidently there is a vote to be had on Monday but according to the article int he Arizona Republic Martyn and other organizers were still unable to say where the vote will be held.
Why not give others a chance to make suggestions for naming the area. This is so wrong! Haven't the people who bought homes here who were under the impression they lived in "Queen Creek" suffered enough without some politician deciding what he would like our area to be called. Put it to a real vote dude. What's your rush.
I'm with Tisha Castillo, president of the San Tan Area Chamber of Commerce in asking that this vote be delayed. There is no need for your stealth secret vote. Just because you have visited a couple of homeowner meetings does not give you the right to name our area. What's your rush? What's your motive?
Readers, and twitterers, if you have a good new name for our area let's hear it!

The poll is not a secret, it's on-going and will be available online tonight through the GSTAC website. There is also a public meeting 6/22 @ 6:30pm @ Circle Cross Ranch Elementary School. Residents may vote online prior to the meeting or in person (paper ballet) the night of the meeting.
Rather than propagating misinformation, you might try to get some facts -- or at least make an effort to understand the situation.
I've lived in this unincorporated area for several years now. We are not in Queen Creek. In fact, the town of QC doesn't want us! They are concerned with the high numbers of foreclosures in our area and the potential negative impact on their town image. Ask them...see what they say.
As for Bryan Martyn being a rouge supervisor...well, I for one support our elected leaders in being decisive and pro-active. Have you talked to Bryan? If you do you might get a better handle on his motives.
There is no unified voice or even a largely distributed newspaper in this area. You have an opportunity with this blog to provide residents with useful information. Instead, you've squandered that opportunity in lieu of taking pot shots at one of a few individuals that's trying to move things forward in our community.
