New Conservative Fountain Hills Leadership Kills ‘Woke DEI’ Road Diets

Fountain Hill Town Councilmember Allen Skillicorn

With conservatives now dominating the leadership in Fountain Hills, a plan for road diets has been defeated. The Fountain Hills Town Council (FHTC) voted 5 to 2 against the “Woke DEI Vision Zero Road Diet Plan” on Tuesday. The program was approved in April of last year under the leadership of former far left Mayor Ginny Dickey and Democrats on the FHTC. Road diets eliminate lanes on roads in the city and replace them with bicycle lanes.

Fountain Hills Councilman Allen Skillicorn said in a statement released to The Arizona Sun Times, “This plan includes a commitment to gender equity, why? This plan mentions greenhouse gases seven times, mentions climate change nine times, mentions environmental justice thirteen times, and mentions equity twenty times. Our town and our nation have rejected wokeness and DEI. Today is a new era of common sense. This is not for our town.”

Fountain Hills Democrats Attempt to Remove Republicans’ Christmas Tree from Community Center, Attempt ‘Inappropriate’ Replacements

Christmas Tree

Democratic activists in the Town of Fountain Hills objected to a Christmas tree decorated with Trump 2024 flags put up by the Republican Party in the town’s community center. The town refused to take the tree down, citing the First Amendment, so in protest, the Fountain Hills Democratic Club (FHDC) put up their own “inappropriate” replacement, a severed mask of Donald Trump’s head inside a wreath.

Fountain Hills Councilman Allen Skillicorn provided a statement to The Arizona Sun Times. “While I defend the Fountain Hills Democratic Club’s free speech, I am shocked by the inappropriate and out of touch behavior by FH Dem Club members,” he said. “The Grinch appears to reside in their hearts. The people of Arizona and Fountain Hills have rejected their sex toy ideology and devotion to confusing children. I defend their right to not believe in Christianity and the Holiday of Christ’s birth, but does that mean they should mock the faith of others? I invite the FH Dems to enjoy some eggnog and twinkly lights, but leave the Bah Humbug at home, behind closed doors.”
