Is This Open Government in Mesa?? Pay To Hear The Mayor Talk About The-State-of-the-City?

Outrageous!
It's been the mayor's job for about a year now riding on the tailwinds of former mayor Scott Smith's initiatives. 

John Giles is employed and gets paid by Mesa taxpayers. We pay him to get things done on his own . . . and now businesses, organizations and residents [notice residents come last in the solicitation from the Mesa Chamber of Commerce for a breakfast] have "a great opportunity" [HUH?] to hear his "vision for Mesa's future" but it comes at a price:
Cost
Chamber Members: $50 per attendee  
Non-Members: $60 per attendee
Just like what he says, or doesn't say, in a recent article in Phoenix Business Journal stuck behind a pay-wall, you can find out if you pay.

Mayor John Giles has posted nothing on his blog since August 26th - for more than three months ago.
The last post was ICYMI – Mesa’s Momentum Continues! Did you miss it?

When is the City of Mesa going to get in tune with WhatWorksCities for public engagement and open data?
