Quotes From the Film

"There are more and more elected officials saying . . . not 'no to growth,' but no to the way we are growing, and yes to a look at what our other options are. And that means, I believe, more cooperation between the cities - and we're seeing some - and ultimately some kind of an over-arching planning process. We can't do that as 24 warring communities."
 --Terry Goddard, Mayor, City of Phoenix, 1984-1990

"What affects my city affects all the cities surrounding. If we don't work as a region, we don't have a very good place to live."
 --Joan Shafer, Mayor, City of Surprise
