ARCHIVED SECTION

The Gazette has been revamped. All materials published prior to July 2006 have been placed in this archived section, which will not be updated nor corrected unless someone brings a serious error to our attention. There is a new version, albeit minimalist, that has the potential to grow over time. more

Helen Gunderson founded The Gilbert Gazette, an unofficial web site, in 2002. She had moved to Gilbert in 1993 and became active in local government in 1998 when a friend asked her to serve on the Gilbert Parks and Recreation Commission. In the fall of 1999, Helen was elected to the Gilbert City Council. She resigned that position in April of 2002 to protest the mayor’s leadership style. She first published the Gazette in June of that year.

She continued to take an interest in city government, but she eventually felt the need to disengage from her intense level of local activism and find a new publisher for the Gazette.
