Getting to the Truth
There are a couple of claims made by Hiremath and the incumbents which need to be investigated further. They are The Safe City claim and The property value increase claim.
​
Safe City claim: It is certainly true that Oro Valley is consistently rated as one of the top 10 safest places in Arizona to live. However, the incumbents would have you believe that this is a brand new accolade which has been bestowed upon Oro Valley during their tenure. Let's get to the truth.
​
As far back as we could find records, Oro Valley has never been OUT of the top 10 safest places in Arizona to live. Safety is a function of law enforcement and specifically the policies of the Chief of Police. Our Chief of Police has been serving Oro Valley for 18 years, which is long before this council took office. The most this council can take credit for is continuing to support the public safety policies that were in effect when they came on the scene. Previous Town Councils have also supported Chief Sharp's programs and the challengers are on record as being committed to seamlessly continuing his programs as well. For the Town Council to infer that it's their leadership that has gotten Oro Valley this recognition is just not accurate.
Property values increase claim. In Hiremath's full page ad in the Explorer, he seemed proud to say that "Home values have risen twenty-three percent since I took office" (which was in 2010). He must have been hoping that information would garner him some votes. He has repeated that claim several other times. Guess he didn't figure anyone would remember that 2010 was near the bottom of the market and do any follow-up research. Let's get to the truth.
Home values in Oro Valley may have gone up 23% since Hiremath took office in 2010, but according to Tucson.com, home values throughout Arizona have gone up 35% since 2010. That's 50% higher statewide than Oro Valley. And according to Trulia.com, the median sales price in Phoenix has more than doubled since 2010. Perhaps Hiremath's 23% number isn't quite the source of pride he'd like us to believe.
