​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Statement from Councilman Sal DiCiccio on Pension Initiative Jan. 16, 2018 ​”This week, we filed an initiative that will help fix the pension problem, and I have committed $25,000 toward this effort. The initiative requires 20,000 valid signatures to reach the ballot and does the following: Every dollar above inflation plus population growth MUST go toward paying down the pensions. Public safety (Police and Fire) are the first to be paid down. Requires politicians to pay for their own pensions – NOT the public. Exempts Police and Fire so we can continue to hire the first responders we need, and protects them from any cuts to pay and benefits. Lastly, it requires an honest accounting of the problem, because – believe it or not – no one here at City Hall even knows how big our pension deficit is. Why is this being done? Phoenix politicians have refused to fix the growing pension problem and have only made it much worse. Last year, in order to solve a small budget shortfall, they voted to INCREASE the police and fire debt by BILLIONS of dollars by extending the years of repayment. That was their solution, to destabilize an already dire pension for our police and fire and to increase the amount of monies you – the public – will need to pay. The other solution the politicians and bureaucrats are proposing? RAISE YOUR TAXES. They think you and your family are doing just fine and it is ok for you to be saddled with higher taxes rather than propose real solutions to solve the ever growing pension debt problem. Responsible Budgets gives us a way to prevent these outrageous tax increases AND pay down our debt responsibly. It’s not too late to prevent a disaster, but we do need to act quickly.” Learn more at responsiblebudgets.com Media Contact: Jaime Kleshock Phone Number: 602-534-0820

OneTravel Recaps 2017 Travel Trends and Shares Predictions for 2018

NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Leading online travel agency, OneTravel, has released a summary of key travel trends, showcasing findings that occurred within the industry this past year, as well as a look at what’s on the horizon in 2018. From the most expensive months to book airline tickets to the most popular destinations, key takeaways from 2017 include: The three busiest months for travel in 2017 were December, July, and August. The quietest months were February, April, and January.1 Despite being a slow month, April was the most expensive while September and October were the cheapest.2 In 2017, OneTravel saw an increase in popularity for travel to Asia destinations. The Philippines, India, China, Thailand, and Vietnam were all ranked in the top 20 most popular countries for the year, up from only three Asian countries on the list in 2014. Vietnam saw a significant jump of 21 spots over the three year period. In 2014, the up-and-coming Southeast Asian destination was ranked as the 37th most popular country, but surged to number 16 in 2017.1 In 2017, travelers generally booked airline tickets just over a month ahead of their departure date, but the online booking site noticed there are still a few destinations where travelers prefer to plan ahead. Places where travelers consistently booked more than three months in advance include Iceland, Maldives, Madagascar, and Denmark.3 “After the record-breaking cold that hit the northern U.S. at the beginning of January, we saw a spike in bookings to warm weather destinations,” said Sanjay Hathiramani, Global SVP of Supplier Relations at OneTravel. “Our early data indicates that travelers will continue to head south in February and March as well.” Florida dominates the list of most popular destinations in the U.S. with five cities in the top ten. Other warm weather destinations such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix also made the list.

Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City moved up three rankings since last year, making it the second most popular international destination. “OneTravel’s top five destinations, both internationally and domestically, typically remain fairly consistent, so this is a notable step up for Vietnam,” added Hathiramani. “Several other cities that travelers should keep an eye on in 2018 are Guangzhou, Dublin, and Auckland, as they also made significant jumps in the rankings.” OneTravel’s Top International Destinations on the Rise in 20185 City Rank for 2018 travel Rank for 2017 travel Position Change Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam #2 #5 +3 Lima, Peru #8 #13 +5 Mumbai, India #23 #29 +7 Dubai, U.A.E. #41 #53 +12 Guangzhou, China #32 #55 +23 Dublin, Ireland #38 #65 +27 Auckland, New Zealand #30 #62 +32 About OneTravel OneTravel is a leading online travel agency that offers deals for savvy travelers seeking both quality and value.
