In a rare moment of candor during a 2024 Maricopa County Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Clint Hickman let the mask slip.
Watch as the former Board Chairman complains that he’s “gone a lot of years without having anyone here to talk about an individual agenda item” — but now he’s getting stacks of people pulling items off the agenda and demanding to be heard.
Here’s the clip:
For years these meetings ran on autopilot with little to no public scrutiny. No accountability. Business as usual. But something has shifted. Citizens are showing up, speaking out, and putting real pressure on elected officials who thought they could operate in the shadows.
Hickman’s frustrated tone says it all — the good ol’ days of low turnout and zero pushback are over. We the People are awake, engaged, and we’re not going away.
This is what accountability looks like. Share this video far and wide. If we keep showing up, they have no choice but to listen.
It is Our Duty.
Stay vigilant.
