Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents Spring Creek Development

What’s up with Bob Littlefield? Is there anything less appealing in Scottsdale politics than a former city council member who wants to undo the vote of elected officials who serve alongside his spouse?
Immediately upon approval of a world-class, mixed-use development in downtown Scottsdale called Southbridge-II, Littlefield and a few of his supporters —who he would reportedly like to have elected to the City Council next year — are attempting to undo the vote.
It’s an unadulterated power grab spearheaded by a group who appear to desire to commander the Scottsdale’s planning and development apparatus. Do you have any idea how much time, brain-damage and money it takes to run a development through a nine- to 12-month municipal approval process?
There are a lot of checks and balances intentionally designed into the system, including detailed analyses involving construction plans, power consumption and school attendance.
