Please take the time while you're here on this landing-page to look around this blog for a perspective of what's on this site.
Be curious and see what's online, like more than 180,000 people (or mebbe robots or even trolls) who take the time to read what's here - it's meant to cause a reaction just like the animated image opening this post where every action, according to Newton's Law of Physics, causes an equal re-action. That's the good-faith intention and mission here: to get you, dear readers, more engaged and involved.
That's not anything more far-fetched than some of the statements from the spigots in the corporate-owned pipeline of mainstream media that flow faster than a raft tubing down the rapid-running currents in the Salt River. If we drink the treated SRP tap water, who knows? .... we're just thirsty for news

> Headline: Salt River Project announces new general manager/CEO
"Salt River Project’s Board of Directors have selected Mike Hummel to succeed Mark B. Bonsall as the general manager and chief executive officer. He will lead day-to-day operations of the public power utility.
Hummel, 57, will assume responsibilities in May. He is currently SRP’s deputy general manager of resources and finance. Bonsall announced his intention to retire last year after working at SRP since 1977. . . "

(Blogger Note: The Nitty-Gritty about Mike Hummel)
The Salt River Project was recently in the news, with proposed pay increases including $251,000 a year for board President David Rousseau. The story noted that this was more than Gov. Doug Ducey ($95,000) or Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton ($88,000). SRP backed off following the news in the Arizona Republic. The real day-to-day boss in the new general manager, Mike Hummel, who will make $1.04 million. Despite the modest title, this is a position of immense influence. Former general managers include heavyweights Jack Pfister and Dick Silverman.
Phoenix lacks engaged moneyed stewards such as Bill Gates and Paul Allen in Seattle, or major headquarters such as Amazon. This only magnifies the power of SRP. It is no ordinary utility, even though it supplies electricity to the Phoenix metropolitan area along with Arizona Public Service. But much of what it does happens behind the scenes . . .
