Despite some fiery behind-the-scenes blasts launched at them, Mesa Mayor John Giles and City Manager Chris Brady responded with a âpraise and raiseâ strategy toward the Mesa Fire and Medical Department.
The attack came in the form of a full-page ad in the Tribune from the group Mesa Shell Game, which notes on its website it receives âmajor funding by the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona.â
The website encourages Mesa residents to call Giles and Brady and âtell them to restore 911 response times and to stop stiffing firefighters on necessary resources and pay.â
And, on the Opinion page of the May 23 Tribune, Bryan Jeffries, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, complained Giles and Brady used a âshell gameâ to take money voters approved for public safety and use it for an ASU campus.
Shell games involving subterfuge, confusion, and separating people from their money. Thatâs exactly whatâs happening right now in the City of Mesa â a massive shell game being used to pay for a new $100 million ASU campus at the expense of public safety.
The culprits? Mesa Mayor Giles, city manager Chris Brady and a complicit City Council.
A quick history lesson is in order. In 2016, Giles personally led the effort to pass sales tax increase to pay for a downtown ASU campus. Despite the city tying the ASU spending to increasing resources for police and fire services, conservative Mesa voters said âabsolutely not.â
And no one can overrule them; not the governor, not the mayor, not even Mesa City Council.
Thousands across Mesa are expected to be on the move, though no moving vans are needed, as the âmoveâ will be purely for local voting purposes.
Mesa is divided into six districts, with each represented by a City Council member.
The U.S. Census is a huge deal for state and local governments, as it potentially impacts population-linked funding and Congressional districts.
Early results of the 2020 Census already sent shock waves through the world of politics, as New York and California unexpectedly lost congressional seats; Arizona maintained its congressional seats, stunning those who expected the state to gain a seat.
