Bisbee Mayor Ken Budge has been invited to attend the Arizona House of Representatives opening day at the state capitol on January 12.

Mayor Budge said not only will he attend but he will be on the floor and plans to use his time to try to get needed funds for Bisbee. “I want to get support for Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to fund what we need as they shorted us on the last two-year budget. I will work on housing issues and getting more money for rural areas which we need to make Hillcrest work for development.”
