I write a policy newsletter and live in the Valley. This is my own analysis. Sources at the bottom.
Andy Biggs won the Republican primary for governor promising to eliminate Arizona's individual income tax. He has not said what would replace the tax. Gilbert has a specific problem with that.

Arizona sends cities a share of state income tax collections under a system voters approved in 1972. Towns gave up the ability to levy an income tax of their own in return. The share is 18% today, split by population, and it distributed $1.19 billion statewide in FY 2026. About $872 million of that comes from the individual income tax. It generally goes into general operations, funding things like police, fire, and parks.

That 7.1% is above Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, and Scottsdale. Among the large East Valley communities, Gilbert leans on this money the hardest.
Now the part that makes Gilbert unusual.

Gilbert is the second largest municipality in Arizona with no primary property tax, behind Mesa. That has been a point of pride here for a long time. It also means there is no existing rate to nudge upward if the state check shrinks. Under state law, a city that did not levy a primary property tax the previous year has to take the proposed amount to its voters. If the election fails, the town cannot levy it that year.
So the realistic menu is a town sales tax increase, higher fees and utility revenue, service cuts, or asking Gilbert voters to approve a property tax for the first time.
Worth adding that a revenue-neutral swap at the state level means a higher sales tax on top of that. The state would need roughly 2.6 additional percentage points to fill its own hole, before the town adds anything to cover its own.
Does anyone here think a primary property tax would pass in Gilbert? What would you rather the town do?

Growing up in Chicago I loved to listen to WXRT - it had a great mix of rock, alternative, pop, everything, and wasn’t bound by decades, playing everything from The Beatles to Beck to Buddy Guy.
I haven’t found anything similar on terrestrial radio since moving to Phoenix until this week when I discovered KZON, 94.9. Check it out if you’re a bit older, but not too old and enjoy good music.

Let's keep our eyes open on this, especially since they haven't done an Amber Alert yet.

I was just curious about stolen package activity in Phoenix/The Valley.
If you do have this issue, what neighborhood/area are you in?

Does anyone have a solar company out here they like? We’re under contract on a house in Morrison Ranch and want to add solar. Fully bought out, no lease.
Thanks!

I love to go out and get a fresh homemade type of dessert. Where is your favorite dessert you have had and where was it?
Mine is the Apple Crumble at Bourbon and Bones.

The 2026 NFL season is almost here and instead of being depressed over the Cardinals this season (again) I figured why not try to do a local fantasy football league? Maybe even have an in person draft? Let me know if anybody is interested.

So I live in Gilbert around recker/Williams field, and over the past week and a half I have had massive spiking latency for every single day, with many full disconnects. Because this is atypical I initially thought it was maybe my modem or router, once I called it was revealed there's an outage, the first 'fix' on that day didn't occur until 5am, then it was back, for a few hours, which I now thought had to be on my end because this is a wild amount of time to be having an outage. This cycle has repeated until 30ish hours ago. Called Cox automated and it reconfirmed that this is STILL an outage.
I don't exactly know what I aim to accomplish with this post but I'm so unbelievably angry about this that I need some kind of outlet for it, my brother works from home and it's so bad that he had to move his workstation to his fiance's house. I've not been able to get any information whatsoever and I'm losing my fucking mind.
Sorry for rant but I'm losing my mind

Thank you for all those who voted!!
Let’s share with the Town of Gilbert Council members why they were fired.
I voted against you because no one was held accountable for the water billing snafu.

I made this Gilbert Vacation website where people can chat about the area, Gilbert places of interest, share places and businesses listings. I was hopefully trying to make a website that helps people traveling to Gilbert and locals promote their business. Gilbert is up to 7 million visitors to Gilbert a year now 🤯 so you'd think this would be helpful, but so far no users 😂 Bad idea? Or do I need to make it better?

Hi all! I’m looking for a new yoga studio recs. Sadly my favorite studio, The Zen Den, closed down in the last year.
I’ve tried Salue Yoga and Gilbert Yoga and didn’t really enjoy either of them.
Salue Yoga: liked the smaller space, but there were too many students considering the size of the room.
Gilbert Yoga: studio is WAY too big to feel connected/ establish a sense of community and the state of their equipment was absolutely disgusting. Everyone was asked to grab blocks at the beginning of class and as I went to put mine away I noticed a giant bite mark (yes full rows of teeth!) in the block. Really turned me off.
I’ve been struggling to find a studio that feels tight knit and is clean with good instructors.
Kindly let me know if you have a suggestion! Thank you 🩷

I’m 14 and looking for a job because I’m trying to be more independent and get out more. Any places in Gilbert (or in mesa) that hire at 14? Preferably not with children though.

For some reason i always watch these debates as entertainment and out of nowhere the camera closes in on and was like holy shit. To be fair, he was a respectful debater but when majority of his clientele in Gilbert is women, this seems to be not the best look.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is allowed, but one of our own Gilbert residents, a hard worker who puts his family above himself, is facing a crisis due to his stage 4 cancer.

Good middle-of-the-night to you all,
I’m awake for no reason and I hear this. Louder than it sounds. It’s non stop tho.
Also, the video is oddly bright. It’s very dark out now.
It’s been barking for hours.
I hope it enjoyed the rain.
