Ducey signs San Tan bill that could allow incorporation without a vote
by Howard Fischer | Capitol Media Services
Residents of the San Tan Valley are now free to try to incorporate their area as a new city.
Gov. Doug Ducey on Tuesday signed legislation removing a legal impediment that has so far blocked residents from even starting the formal process. Ducey did not comment on his decision.
But Tuesday’s action does not guarantee there will someday be such a city.
Instead, it simply allows the process to start. And once the lines are drawn for the proposed new community, it still needs a majority of people within those boundaries who show up to vote to support the plan.
