Question: Is East Mesa State Legislator Rusty Bowers In the Back-Pockets of Real Estate Developers??

^^^ Heads Up ^^^ dear readers: Ya gotta wonder - or mebbe you should wonder - how there are far too many frequent connections with Mesa Republicans elected to public office here on the Mesa City Council and others elected to serve the public interest in The Arizona State House as state legislators (example Rusty Bowers, Justin Olsen) and state senators (example State Senator Bob Worley] consistently favor actions introducing bills to either benefit real estate developers in the sprawling suburban expansion eastward in The Valley or to benefit and capitalize on their own gambles and bets in real estate speculation all involving a generations-old close cohort of 'friends-and-family' or undisclosed business associations. (Notice Bob Worley back left)

Is it any coincidence at all that the City of Mesa has invested million$ in taxpayer$ monie$ for not just one but two new water treatment plans at The Signal Butte Water Treatment Plant and The Greenfield Water Treatment Plant, calling it "infrastructure investment" for economic development on former agricultural lands turned into real estate fortunes for a few family trusts and holding companies? . . . That's the Mesa Way!

East Mesa lawmaker on hot seat with governor
over water bill

March 5, 2018

By Howard Fischer
"An East Mesa legislator has drawn the governor’s ire for helping to push legislation that would undermine the state’s conservation efforts that enable it to keep drawing water from the Colorado River.
Top officials in the Ducey administration are reaching out to the media – and, by extension, the public – to blunt efforts by Republican State Rep. Rusty Bowers and Cochise County Sen. Gail Griffin that would allow developers to circumvent requirements that they show there is sufficient water to sustain their projects. . . "
. . . Governor Ducey's top aide Kirk Adams has taken the unusual – and possibly unprecedented – step of reaching out to reporters to generate stories designed to put pressure on lawmakers to make the legislation, up for debate this coming week, more acceptable to the governor. . .
The new bills would require supervisors to revisit those ordinances regularly. It would take a unanimous vote to renew; anything short of that would make the requirement disappear.
That is something that some developers want.
Ducey made his views clear in vetoing the 2016 measure.
“We’re not going to allow bills that get in the way of the 1980 Groundwater Management Act or take away from the work of the people that have come before I came into office in protecting Arizona’s water,’’ he said at the time. . .
“This bill, in its current form, falls short,’’ Adams said, contending that provision and others “actually turn back the clock on water management and actually undermine consumer protections, particularly as it relates to adequate water supply and assured water supply.’’
