In the mid to late 1950s there was a TV program called “To Tell The Truth,” where three people pretended to be someone. Only one of them was the real person. A panel of four celebrities tried to guess who was the real one. I feel like we are playing this game with our councilperson, Allen Skillicorn.
Allen is against wasteful spending and thinks by eliminating programs that previous Town Councils believed were necessary, we can fix our roads. Yet, if you look at his record on pending legislation, through his opinions via Request to Speak, he has voted for the elimination of no less than three taxation policies which would cost our town approximately $3 million in sales tax revenue. But he has stated that we need to bring in more businesses to Fountain Hills so that we can bring in more tax revenue.

In the mid to late 1950s there was a TV program called “To Tell The Truth,” where three people pretended to be someone. Only one of them was the real person. A panel of four celebrities tried to guess who was the real one. I feel like we are playing this game with our councilperson, Allen Skillicorn.
Allen is against wasteful spending and thinks by eliminating programs that previous Town Councils believed were necessary, we can fix our roads. Yet, if you look at his record on pending legislation, through his opinions via Request to Speak, he has voted for the elimination of no less than three taxation policies which would cost our town approximately $3 million in sales tax revenue. But he has stated that we need to bring in more businesses to Fountain Hills so that we can bring in more tax revenue.
His letter in The Fountain Hills Times on Jan. 25, entitled “TikTok,” says he has always believed that highly productive people don’t waste their time on social media. Social media is a giant waste of time. Yet, I have personally been blocked from all but one of his many social media accounts, which I’m not sure is legal since he is a council member.
On Jan. 12, Allen Skillicorn made some outlandish comments on his Twitter account. Among them, he declares a reason why we can’t repair our roads is because our mayor is wasting money. He cites $75,000 being spent to bus the homeless into Fountain Hills. This is, of course, a total fabrication.
What is his end game? I’m confused. Will the real Allen Skillicorn please stand up?
