... and wants readers to pay for a subscription to get the full stories. It's called a pay wall
A paywall is a system that prevents Internet users from accessing webpage content without a paid subscription . . . Why is Mesa mayor John Giles using a pay wall publication to talk about so-called "challenges" and "opportunities" in downtown Mesa??
OK, Who wants yesterday's news?

"Trying to shed . . . ???" What kind of cocoon has he been in?
Yours truly, in a mellow way, has been on the beat on the streets here posting about THE METAMORPHOSIS IN THE NEW URBAN DTMESA in this blog for quite a while now, - they're not locked up behind a paywall if you want to read "the full story . . . there's always more to the story . . .  for instance why does Mesa have that conservative image?

You can hit the blue underlined link to the first one and hit this link > http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/print-edition/2015/12/04/mesa-mayor-john-giles-talks-downtown.html for the second . . .
Wanna get the full stories? Then you have to subscribe and that's with paid subscriptions: $90.00 for a year for either pint or digital

Is this open and transparent when PBJ readers have to pay to hear what the mayor has to say about "challenges" and "opportunities" ??????????
. . . and what do other people - all engaged in THE BIG WE - have to say?
