He argued several appeals in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which is generally regarded as the second most important court in the United States.Tom’s ability to analyze complex legal and factual situations and to "cut through" to the heart of the matter are essential to the City Council. During his time at Mayer Brown, I was recognized by Chambers USA as one of the top 25 tax controversy lawyers in the US. Tom retired from Mayer Brown in April 2015. Tom Durham 2024 website

Summer is officially here which means lots of pool time, maybe heading north to search for some cooler temperatures and vacations. But all of these come with danger too. Drawings are already occurring. The wildcat fire in north scottsdale was the largest of the season, rattlesnakes are out. And when any of these tragedies strikes, who do you call? The Scottsdale Fire Department of course. Which is why David Foley from SFD is here to prepare us for summer.
