Speak Up: P&Z, council election on Surprise readers' minds

Here are some comments about stories happening in Surprise:

North Surprise convenience store on P&Z agenda

“Why not (have) commercial land? Services are  needed.” — Rich B.

“Terrible’s is a good neighbor. They are clean  stores. I lived in Las Vegas where they are based.” — Cathy J.

“P&Z needs to pause on giving permits. It’s ridiculous on how much development Surprise is experiencing. They need to focus on infrastructure, especially widening roads.” — Mary L.

“I think this would be a ‘terrible’ idea. Goodnight folks, I’ll show myself out.” — Jeff S.

Council write-in hopeful fighting against data center

“It’s not in Surprise, but it will throw tons of pollution into the air of Surprise, El Mirage and Waddell. The data centers are bad enough, but this is an awful place for a project like this.” — April B.

“Data center is a lot better than some kind of subdivision.” — Kathy M.

“Another day and something new to complain about.” — Stan G.

“I don’t believe all the rumors and propaganda  that the extremists are throwing around to get you riled up.” — Richard D.

“Since data centers create massive amounts of heat, why not build them up north? We already have massive amounts of heat.” — Karolyn C.

“Nobody ever wants anything in their backyard but always wants the benefits of it.” — John S.

“Never vote for a write in candidate.” — Karena J.N.
