IP User 2600:6C40:4200:3AD:6C39:5E47:E262:ABB8, posted the following on the article page. Maybe someone with an interest in this article could help them?
Gallego, led Phoenix through the Great Pandemic of 2020. "When there is no one left to ask for help, there's no one for the mayor to pass the buck. And once again, the welfare of the people is left to the creative thinking of the community's librarians."
NOTE_TO_EDITOR: NPR will post a written transcript of the radio story tomorrow, at which I'll copy and paste the precise quote. In the meantime, can you help me code the source and insert a link?
For the first sentence, here is what I'm wondering. If we could take the word Phoenix and replace it with any city in the world and just change Gallego's name to the name of the mayor of that other city, is it really worth noting on her WP entry? For the quote, I'm wondering who said or wrote it. If she is only said to be not passing the buck because passing the buck isn't possible, is that notable enough to include in an encyclopedia entry? I just think we need more context. Larry Hockett (Talk) 21:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Gallego went on the Sunday talk shows yesterday, so there is some content we could add about her opinion that Ducey reopened the state too quickly.[1] – Muboshgu (talk) 21:45, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
