Waking Up Tucson — With Chris DeSimone (Audio)

Chris and Sean welcome radio legend Chris DeSimone, host of Wake Up with Chris DeSimone — the voice that, for years alongside Joe Higgins, shook Tucson’s political and business establishment awake. Their Wake Up Tucson show pulled no punches in calling out hypocrisy, incompetence, and corruption from City Hall to the Chamber. Sadly, not much has changed. Tucson still wrestles with crumbling infrastructure, stagnant growth, and baffling economic decisions — like rejecting Project Blue while boasting of “20,000+ jobs created” in a metro of over a million. But there’s a plot twist: DeSimone isn’t just talking about it anymore — he’s running for Oro Valley Town Council on a bold platform of incorporation and annexation, sending shivers down the spines of Pima County bureaucrats. Could this be the beginning of a Tucson turnaround? #WakeUpTucson #LBDM #OroValley #PimaCounty #ProjectBlue #Politics #Arizona #Annexation #Incorporation #WakeUpCall #Podcast Follow Light Beer Dark Money on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lightbeerdarkmoney/ Follow Light Beer Dark Money on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LBDMshow Follow Light Beer Dark Money on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/light-beer-dark-money/ Link to the Light Beer Dark Money Blog: https://lightbeerdarkmoney.com/hypocrisy-and-the-aoc-oh-sandy/
