The Passing of Former Phoenix Mayor John Driggs
John Douglas Driggs passed away this month at the age of 87. Driggs served as the mayor of the City of Phoenix from 1970 to 1974 and
was an instrumental part of the passage of Proposition 200, the act that created Urban Revenue Sharing in Arizona. His commitment to
conservation and preservation led to the restoration of the Rosson House, the expansion of Camelback Mountain, among other important
projects. His legacy is continued by his five sons, including Adam Driggs, who serves in the Arizona Senate.
