Your MesaZona blogger invites you to the table.
You are encouraged to see what's on the menu [oops! The agenda] of all meetings. Just more pies today so take a look at how millions of dollars get sliced
...and please remember while public input "is encouraged" your participation is restricted - only 3 comments allowed at sessions and meetings of the Mesa City Council with a time-limit of three minutes. Got lots to say? . . . too bad
