Al Krieger was Yuma’s Mayor from 2010 to the end of 2014.  Prior to that, he spent one term on the Yuma City Council from 2004 to 2007.  Krieger has a background in construction.  The former mayor reflected on his tenure in city government and says he is most proud of the TAGS program to clean up graffiti in the city.  However, Krieger’s period in office was not without controversy. 

KAWC’s Lou Gum had a candid conversation with the former mayor.
